Multiplayer issues

[Papa Lazarou]

Hi there. my two housemates and i are all connected to a wireless LAN (linksys). we are all running 1.22 conquests and have disabled all firewalls. we are trying to play each other but only me and one of my friends ever shows up in the lobby - the other one doesnt see either of us in the lobby and isnt able to direct connect to us. sometimes he sees our games for a split second but it disappears.

when i ping from his computer he can see us so its definately a problem with civ3/gamespy. can anyone help please?

I had a similar problem when hosting on my dormitory LAN. We got around it by having the person who couldn't see the game join by direct IP. Hope it helps.

Hi!,

are you running service pack 2 on the computers? this blocks games until you tell it not to. Do you have any anti virus or software that has its own firewall this to can block it.

Have you tried with a normal wire LAN? that fixed all the problems i was having trying to connect.
