  • TCP/IP connection troubles

    I am trying to set-up an MP game for the first time. However, I have lost the MP instruction booklet and am having trouble hosting and/or joining a game. Basically whenever someone tries to join my game after typing in the IP address (ie: ##.###.###.###) it just gives the 'Game not Found' message. Same when I try to join a game. Just wondering if because I don't have the instructions I am missing something. Do I need to type 'HTTP:// ' then the IP Address? Or what do put in for the computer name as an alternative - is this the game name?

    I do have a D-Link router with a built in firewall - don't know much about that, but I understand AC doesn't require ports to be opened.

    I am running Windows 2K with DSL and my friend is on XP (with firewall disabled) and a modem.

    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
