Introversion

Hi All,

As the title states I cannot get past the "Requesting Server List" when I hit join game.

I am operating behind a proxy and on dialup. I could port tunnel more directly to the server using hosts file if I knew the address of the server list computer.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank You,

My only ideas are that dial-up has a hard time playing anything online and the metaserver should be fairly stressed today. Hopefully it is just the latter and you can play later, but I doubt it with you operating on dial-up.

Me again. I installed the game on the computer with the modem in it (no proxy to go through) and it load the server list just fine.

I put metaserver-mw.introversion.co.uk in the host file and pointed it to the proxy computers address and then tunneled port 416 to metaserver-mw.introversion.co.uk. Trouble is, it used port 428 the next time (as per the debug.txt file. Is there a way to control what ports Multiwinia uses?

I'm afraid that (or at least I think that), generally, outgoing ports are often treated as "give me a port plz".

However the fact that this solution worked suggests to me that your network is poorly (or perhaps, specifically) configured - you might want to consider revising it? I would have expected the computer with the momem to have acted as a gateway (as opposed to a proxy, but maybe you didn't mean proxy) and forwarded this request on.

Thank you for the feedback.

Currently I'm using Avirt Gateway 4.2.

Can you recommend other gateway software solutions to try? A quick googling reveals Wingate to be a possibility.

Many Thanks,

Isn't there directly a _connection sharing_ utility build in windows since Win98 SE ?
