Not able to join games online

[Deroche]

I realize 2-Worlds II is about to be released in October (hopefully), but I purchased two copies of the original Game of the Year edition. So patched to 1.7 I think.

Two XP machines behind the same NAT'ed firewall, on the same LAN. All appropriate and separate ports are forwarded to each machine. Internal firewalls disabled, etc. Attempted every possible variant I could think of...various boxes disabled or turned on, etc.

Trying to play on the WarNet America server. Each computer can tell when someone is or isn't in a town (we picked a town that was vacant, so we knew we were the only people in there). We could tell when the player was just in the town and when a game was started.

I guess I'm assuming if a game is available, it will appear on the left side menu to click on and be joined? Each of us can start our own games, we just can't find each other after that...

thanks

Anyone?

Can u both join any other games together? I see often folks in warnet america who cannot join one another but can both join a 3rd party's game.
I dont know why, but nevertheless it is true.
If you care to try this method, shoot me a pm and we can try it.

No, never did try that. If I find an open game, I'll see if I can join. And if not, then thank you very much for the offer and I'll PM you.

Thanks again.
