Well to be honest I would have to see their pictures first. Have you seen the women in Blackburn...?

You realise you can play without the cd right?
Yeah but I don't have it installed either and I can't be bothered to download itYou realise you can play without the cd right?
no worries, if you change your mind let me know and i'll find you some links.
still not working
82.45.247.43 doesn't work for me either. My router settings etc. are definately correct as well as far as i know, because a mate joined my game some time last week.
Ok well does somebody else want to try and be the host?
I could try, but my computer speed is average until i get my other computer back from my student residence next month. My connection also cuts out now again, which would mean everyone playing could end up being disconnected in the middle of a game.
Worth trying unless somebody else can do it.
okay then. 79.77.106.143
Give that a try. I'll leave it running for the next hour just so we can get everybody into the game, then we'll talk about starting the game properly. If my connection disconnects at any point (only does it once a night, if that) you made need a new IP off me, which i'll post here but hopefully it wont happen. Also, if it does happen, the game will still be running my end so no save games will be lost or anything, at worst if it hapens mid game the AI will play out the rest of your games for you.
It's probably best if we use this thread to discuss what's going on during a game, because the in game chat thing is a bit crap.

no luck
This is going well
Keep trying lads.
Keep trying lads.
Didn't work for me either, annoying.
My mate just joined my other game to test it and got on fine enough. Have you all followed the router configuration steps etc. and opened whatever ports?
Which ports would need to be opened?
I'm useless with that sort of stuff, my firewall is allowing FM through though.
TCP and UDP: 10093 and 10094.
Would probably need to be done with your software firewall as well if you have one.

Should explain how to do it at the developers forums in the link above. Not sure if it requires sign up or not.
Which one is TCP and which is UDP?
You have to open both ports for both of them.
For example, open 10093 and 10094 for TCP, and also open 10093 and 1094 for UDP.
Ok done, let me try and join your game again.
I don't think it is to do with the firewall, I have just switched mine off and I am still unable to join.
Still says the same
Okay. IP is still 79.77.106.143
You may have a windows firewall switched on without realising sicne one comes with windows.

I just tried joining and couldn't.
My windows firewall popped up asking me to block or unblock.
I'm using a mac, I managed to open the ports because I had a problem connecting with FIFA before but got it working, so iI know how to do it but it's still not connecting.
Did you unblock? I really don't know what the problem would be. Getting online has never been easy with this game though. We could just try another host.
Anyone else up for hosting?
I don't know how to, otherwise I would try.
Try once more guys, i just changed something in my router settings.
If it doesn't work now then we may as well try another host.
Edit - Someone's in!

it WORKS!!!!
Right. It definately works because RedDevil is in. I'll keep the game running for the rest of the night so we can get everyone joined etc. even if we don't play. Playing games from then on should be a breeze.
Wow it worked. whats the IP again?
Who's winning?
Whahey I'm in, nice.
For future references what did you change Woodzy?

Right something is happening because previously it kept coming up that I cannot join a game but when I try now the ball just stays there (While it tries to load) but it isn't doing anything.
Your IP address also goes in my recent servers box
