Multiplayer hosting or calling impossible - bravunavo - 07-19-2006 Hi all I'm a noob at Panzer campaigns series, trying to play Stalingrad 42. I've got the following message while trying to host a game to play with a friend : "error establishing system as host" and i I try to connetc to my friend (caller), I get "error establishing system as caller". My system is W2K and my friend uses XP. Have u ever heard of such a problem? RE: Multiplayer hosting or calling impossible - bravunavo - 07-21-2006 No body ever heard oh that or got an idea ? :conf: RE: Multiplayer hosting or calling impossible - bravunavo - 07-21-2006 Nobody ever heard of that or got an idea ? :conf: RE: Multiplayer hosting or calling impossible - Sgt Fury - 07-21-2006 Really a shot in the dark but if you're running some firewall software/hardware you may need to open specific ports to play. Can you "ping" the other machine? (run->cmd, then type ping ipaddr). Fury RE: Multiplayer hosting or calling impossible - bravunavo - 07-21-2006 Hi Thx for helping :) We already tried to disable any firewall without any change. Good idea to try to ping each other : I'll try. Thx again. Cu. RE: Multiplayer hosting or calling impossible - rahamy - 07-21-2006 There's a couple of steps to setting up an on-line game, and its best if both players are on the same version of DirectX, which is currently at 9.0c Then there's the issue of firewalls. Each of you will need to make sure you have the Direct Play ports open so that traffic can pass through. How you do that depends on the firewall you have...and there's so many that I couldn't even begin to walk you through that. The ports you need to have open are: 47624 to 47624 2300 to 2400 6703 to 6703 Hope this gets you going. Regards, Rich RE: Multiplayer hosting or calling impossible - bravunavo - 07-21-2006 Thx for helping too. I'm not sure the firewall is the cause as nothing changed when it was disabled on both PCs. A for the ports you mentionned, I'll take care anyway. Thx again:)
