Hey Guys,
I used Omega's tutorial on creating a private server. All of it works perfectly, but I want to edit it so my spouse can access it too (same internet connection, different computer). This isn't going to be a public server, just one for my spouse and I to test with.
I tried Hamachi, but epically failed. I read a post on port forwarding, but it was not detailed enough for me to understand. *Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob*
Here is my ps_game.ini file text:
[SERVER]
ServerName=Game01
ServerPort=

UserLog=127.0.0.1

[UNITED_WAR_SERVER]
PublicIP=173.20.xxx.xxx (my IP, as stated on whatsmyip.org)
I also edited my IP (173.20.xxx.xxx) into the game.exe file on both computers. When either me or my spouse tries to connect, it says "Failed to connect to login server. Check notice board".
When I use my IP address found by Start, Run, and ipconfig, I get a different IP address 193.168.xxx.xxx. When I edit my ps_game.ini file and game.exe file to that IP address, my computer can connect and run, but my spouse's still cannot.
My computer - Windows XP
Spouse's computer - Windows 7
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!!
