Netplay hangs at "connecting" Stage.
Hey!
I've been trying to get net play to work over the net for some time now. i can get it working on the LAN with no trouble. I have set up portforwarding, (As shown in later image) and I have allowed it access to the internet through my firewall, and I have also tried disabling my firewall.
When some one attempts to connect to me, it just stops at waiting for client, and if I try to connect to someone else, it just stops at "connecting to server... "
I'm pretty damned sure we are attempting to connect to the right IP address.
What would be great is if someone who already has this working could maybe add me to msn, or drop me an email, so we can arange to test it out, because I see nothing wrong at my end. my MSN is
rasta[NOSPAM]guy67(at)hotmail(dot)com
Delete [NOSPAM] and replace (at) and (dot) with @ and . respectively.
I believe I am running v1.36, because that's as far as my "whats new" file goes.
As you can see, I believe I have set up the correct port etc.

That's great for outbound traffic, but you'll have to either disable the firewall or allow incoming traffic on your forwarded ports. This setting doesn't necessarily have anything to do with ZSNESW.exe's permissions.

Ok, I've got the same problem. I'm acting as the server, and my friend as the client. She's behind a router, but I'm not sure if that matters for the client. I'm not, and I'm positive she has the right IP. We wait something like 10 minutes before canceling. I've set my IP to be static, just because for a while I thought I was behind a router and it turned out I wasn't. I was just too lazy to fix that. Anyway, it hangs on the connection. We've tried UDP and TCP/IP, we're both running Windows XP, I've got 1.42 and she's got 1.36, she's on a laptob that has a wired in cable internet connection, and I'm on a tower that has wired cable internet. Any suggestions?

The FIRST recomendation on Zsnes' Netplay doc. :Bauglir wrote:Ok, I've got the same problem. I'm acting as the server, and my friend as the client.

You should also port forward both routers.- Both users must use the same version of ZSNES (e.g. If one user has v1.36 while the other has v1.43, the former user should update to v1.43).
*Sometimes I edit my posts just to correct mistakes.
Remember, that info is from the 1.43 documentation, which hasn't been officially released yet. So it's natural that Bauglir missed it.Goat Semacho wrote:The FIRST recomendation on Zsnes' Netplay doc. :
