NETPLAY PROBLEM

Lowend_warthog · Post by **Lowend_warthog** » Sat Feb 12, 2005 4:02 pm

Ok, we've tried as hard as we can with this one, we each both have the latest version of zsnes ... but we still cant play, we used to be able to netplay fine on dial up .... but since both getting broadband connections we cant seem to connect ....

Both of our IP's are somewhere along the lines of

192.168.1.100
220.236.19.224

We both take turns in being the host, whoever the server is gets the "client found" message but the host still gets " waiting for client " and nothing will go further from there .... any help? thanks

192.168.x.x is a private IP address. One of you is behind a firewall or router.

Try using TCP/IP by unchecking "Use UDP instead of TCP/IP"

ok, so far so good, how do you go about removing, hiding (whichever) the router ? or is this particular "router" in question already built into the broadband console ?

both of you should go to http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/ and find out address.

Also have tried that, still wont create a connection, just in general .... when hooking the zsnes up to netplay ... doesnt it already have what IP your client should be logging into displayed somewhere on that connection screen ( at the bottom before confirming connection) ... i get 2 different IP's when comparing that IP to the www.whatismyipadress.com

one is the 192.168.x.xxx ( displayed by zsnes)
and the wwww.whatismyipadress.com displays 211.27.xxx.x

to get on the right track ... which of these is the correct one? We're both using broadband connections if this is a problem,

My DSL console model is a NB5 ADSL-2 MODEM ROUTER ... i dont like the sound of "router" .... sounds like some sort of security device is built into it

As Noxious Ninja said, 192.168.x.x is a private IP. whatever IP www.whatismyip.com gave you should be the correct one.
As for routers... fuck I forgot what it does, I need to go over my Cisco stuff again, but I will assure you, routers are supposed to be like firewalls.

Both of you have to uncheck it.

Hmm, that's a good link to include in the documentation...

One of you, whoever is planning on being the host, needs to pick up your router's instruction manual and forward port 7845 to your computer. That should take care of your little problem.

ok i have a similar question....will using my "real" public ip, be ok even if snes reports by router ip?

AntoineWG · Post by **AntoineWG** » Mon Apr 25, 2005 2:59 am

Yes. Read the Router Port Forwarding 101 thread. You forward the ports to your local machine (the IP address given by ZSNES) and give your friend your public IP address. Giving your local IP address with a router will not work unless you're behind the same router.
