So port forwarding will never work for CTP? As far as i tried, it does not work. I did add port 21157, too. Still no server found

"CTP is too old"? Well i do play a lot of older games (CIV II, AOE, Netfungus), and all of them work online!!

Hm, can it be that the servers.dat file has to be especially made for MAC? Is just a wild guess ...

I play AOEIIThe Conquerors also..nice game

hmmm, my router does not speak to me. No idea how i can let him say any logs to me

[blackice]

what router is it?

[Websquirrel]

Zyxel Prestige 600. It's the ADSL modem installed by my internet provider.

No just that you have to have the right firewall to be able to play through it. If all of you people go straight pipe without firewall you'd be online playing eons ago.

I did try without any firewall! Nothing changed, same problem, searching for servers never stops...

Straight pipe .... what is that supposed to be? I ve got ADSL, so i am straight connected via ADSL modem, which is a router as well, but it forwards all ports to my MAC. Am i supposed to use dial-in?

You may even get away with just doing a dmz and try that. CTP is too old to make use of the new "nat" and other tehnologies.

Hm, what is "dmz"? Don't understand, sorry

same thing here tried to connect with same settings as yours but nothing ...

[Websquirrel]

Is there no solution for MAC-User? Sounds stupid that the MAC-Version of CTP does have a MP Modus for internet game play though it is useless

[blackgryffin]

sure ! there must be something to do !!! websquirrel, are you playing CTP over X or directly from os 9 ?

[Websquirrel]

Classic Environment over X Panther

[blackice]

Have you turned off the firewall on your router?

[Websquirrel]

i dont think that there is a firewall on my router installed
