We both choose UDP and when I host a game it doesn't even appear on his computer, but when he hosts a game it appears on my computer. However, I get an error that says "Unable to join game" and can't join his game. I tried creating private networks (directly computer to computer wirelessly), using the internet router network, opening BW through ICCup launcher, through hamachi, and even over battle.net (but that doesn't work because we both have the same cd-key so we can't do battle.net, and the iccup server is down right now).
I did research on TL and on google, but answers are few and far between and haven't worked. I read somewhere that opening a port on the router works, but I don't know which ports to open and for what computers. I was wondering if anyone had similar problems and solved them, or if any tech-savvy BW players could give me help or suggestions. We've been trying to get this to work for 2 days now. Firewalls are down.
Thanks!
EDIT: can an admin move this to tech support please? wrong forum.
EDIT AGAIN: Solved... my friend actually didn't turn his firewall off. I asked him after I posted this and it all of a sudden worked. Can an admin close this thread or delete it?
