Hi there,
We have a typical LAN party set up with 3 PC's all connected to the internet directly plugged into my BELKIN F5D7230UK 54MBPS Wireless G router with CAT5e utp cables and we have been trying to play the maps my friends and I have created online with other players but we can never connect to the game, we always get the same error message "Can not join match at this time please try later"
One person sets the game up and then the other pc's can see the game/server but can not connect.
We can play LAN games no problem with our own maps it would just be so much better if we had more players.
We can also play the maps online no problem if we are at different houses (i.e on different internet connections)
Can someone tell me is what we are trying to do even possible (i.e play internet games with our own maps with 3 or more pc's connected to the same internet connection behind a router)? - Or do we need to set up a dedicated server? We have tried the dedicated server but it never seems to start (just stays on a black screen) and no other pc's can use it?
Please any help would be amazing!!
Thanks
