My mate and I try to play each other on ubi site, but when either one of us try;s to host the game we have no ping. And if either of us trys to join it says either we are behind a firewall, which we arnt, or we are behind a Nat sever? any ideas.

Cheers

You probaly need to sort out your port forwarding settings on your router. You'll need to visit http://portforward.com/ to check your router settings so that you can run the game. IIRC there is a bit of a tutorial in the MP section of subsim. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=105486

This totally works! I was having problems with the firewall settings and it totally fixed it. Although, you might still have problems with the virus program. I have a tough time with SH4, people can see me but my computer kicks them out after several seconds.

Ok i have used port forward and config my router but still no ping, i even turned off the firewall but when i host it still shows i have no ping. Any Ideas?????

The host will have no ping since their computer is running the game. Only those who join will have a ping, because they are joining to your computer.

The info TarJak has posted is correct....I have often hosted MP games for the GWX crew.

The portforward site is the best help available.

Using TS or some other means of communication, ask your friends if they get a ping reading from you.

Anything in double figures and beyond is sufficient.

Ok i still cant do it. I have used port forward and dont notice any change at all (no its not the trial version) As for the host having no ping, when i play other people and there hosting they all have a ping until they the host clicks he is ready then he shows no ping, then the game starts. I beginning to run out of ideas. There must be something stopping me but buggered if i know. Any more ideas its driving me nuts.

cheers
