Matrix Games Forums

I'm trying to gather some data from gamers here who have successfully connected and played the Matrix CS Edition Online.

What was the Operating System of both players?
What Game was played? (EF, WF, RS)
Were you able to host and join, or only join, or only host?
What Firewall was being used? (Windows, router supplied, 3rd party)
What Firewall settings did you use/adjust? (turned off, allowed program access, etc)
What brand of router? (if any)
What router settings did you use/adjust? (DMZ host on/off, port forwarding, etc)
Did you use Hamachi?
What settings did you use/adjust for Hamachi?
Did you use another 3rd party networking program?
What settings did you use/adjust on this program?

Stay on the topic here please![:-]

You using Hamachi? Biggest roadblock probably would be someone's router then a firewall.

i cannot Host but can join anybody who can host.
i can Host using Hamchi and have played many times.
drop me a line if you wana test.
