(probably) stupid SMLAN question

kefkanium · 12-25-2004, 11:43 PM

Problem: can't create and host a server that others can join, nor can I join anyone else's. Now, I dunno if SMLAN is only for networked users (there being something else I can use for non-local stuff, like SMOnline or something similar) or what, but I can't figure out how to remedy this. If it helps to know, I'm on dialup and the other people are on DSL or cable. Is there a workaround for this? Help is appreciated.

You have to do some port forwarding shit..

Yeah, I know that, I just can't figure out how. I asked a few people but no luck.

wtf is port forwarding

Just got a thought. Maybe SMLAN is for the computers that link into your LAN only and SMOnline is for, well, ONLINE!! Though, I maybe wrong.

I have the same problem, but the problem is not with smlan i believe, because on cable internet, i can connect to people and they me, but on my 56k dialup, the connection is a no go.. so the problem lies with your isp...

P.S. SMLAN works with everyone online..

Go to your routers webpage, and find port forwarding. Then go to cnlohr.net/smlan and look up the rest.
