Meister 0 Posted November 29, 2001 Hi, when I click on Multiplayer->New->Ok nothing happens!!! This is only since I installed XP. Does anybody know how to fix thsi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tlx 0 Posted November 29, 2001 Hi, setting up a new gamehost works for me. Maybe post some more details. Did you enable the internal firewall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted November 29, 2001 You're on the right track, tlx. Windows XP installs Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) and the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) by default, so unless Meister turned them off himself, they are blocking MP games. To change this, go to the Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connection -> Properties -> Advanced, and uncheck the checkbox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Frag 0 Posted January 3, 2002 You can't host if you have Microsoft's ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) installed, and that exists on 98/ME/2000/XP. Have him check to see if he has it installed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
