Hey guys, i just recently found this game (earlier today) because i was looking for a fun game to play with some friends at the time. We were looking for a LAN compatible game and when i found this game i was pleased, seeing as i have played cs 1.6 and cs:s prior to this day.
Anyways i own 3 working computers, all hooked up to a router which hooks up to my main computer which connects to the internet. So all the computers got the game fully installed, and working properly, but when any one of the computers created a server, none of the other ones could join, with the simple error "Ping Timeout". This must have something to do with the computer with the server not connecting to the usgn servers very fast, which in turn makes the other computers see the server as ??? for the ping and number of players.
So then i tried the LAN option, and it didn't change anything.
So i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i could make this work.
Thanks Admin/mod comment
Please provide a more descriptive title; not just "Help Me" /JW I have similar problems with my 2 computers using a router. For some reason CS2D has trouble connecting to the USGNetwork while using a router with your internet. You can try port-forwarding; find info at www.portforward.com. Remember USGN's default UDP Port 36963. Some other details on this topic is explained in the first FAQ.
