Hi all

I am and some other people have many problems to Host a game,
i searching someone who khow networking and can explain how must i (we) do
to can Host a game.

It might help if we know your Operating System and have the routers name you use ( if you use one)

In this case , I could look up the router settings and check for any things that might be important

After a short discussion via IRC #maxr there are just some points you could try…

• searching the name of your router and his serial-number
• use a search machine of your confidence to find a manual
• read the manual
• hope there is anywhere something like »NAT Port Forwarding«, because often you have to set up a port forwarding rule.
• ask someone in the IRC that's can host - maybe there is help and time to help
• don't give up!

other solution:
use a dedicated server

• join the IRC and ask one of the members to open a game…
  • ip: maxr.org
  • port: default

What about Hamachi? Someone already tried?
It's a program to make a Lan by internet, usually it bypass any ports problem...

I was with the same problem. I modify my Internet Box configuration like that, in "NAT" choice:
The port 32322 is the one used in the game but you have to write it
