Friends are having connection issues

Post by Hackrelic »

Hello, just wondering if someone had a solution to this issue. After I start a server and load the campaign, my friends try to come aboard but the server gets times out and thus they cannot connect. We each take turns set up campaign. we also have gone to the direct connect and typed in IP address and external access to no avail...please help

Are you aware of the network FAQ? You can find it here: Network Connection Problems and Solutions.

It gives guidances to solve many common problems and also advice how to provide all necessary information should your problem persists and you have to ask here again.

Do come back if you still have problems. :)

I suspect you haven't done any port fowarding.

You should be precise and call it b90beta since it might be confusing otherwise.
