i know there is already a topic on that on the sticky.

but no1 had reply it for so long and get a solution to it.

so i thought makin another topic would help[xx(]

quote:yea, so i have this problem with every game i play, i can never host. and the comp at the head of my network isn't really the best computer to run a dedicated server on.

so any way i can host through a network?

I think the standard answer still applies, learn how to forward the correct ports from the gateway machine to the machine running Soldat.

i would like to learn that if someone would tell me how or teach me...

i also searched on google for the answer too, but sadly, no results...

first off, what kinda network do you have? Does it use a router or ICS?

ICS

i am using the computer A (main) and i have two adapters with it. one connectting to my cable modem and the other connects to computer B.

and computer B has one adapter which is connected to my pc.

hope you get what i m saying.

what ICS software are you using?

The window funtions....

window 98, ME, XP has the funtions installed itself...its called "Microsoft Internet Connecton Sharing"

A google for "port forwarding using ICS" got me these two links that describe how to do it using .ics files:

List of example .ics files for other apps to base your soldat ones on:

hmm...i read them. and i dwonloaded that mapping apps...and i dont know waht to do next. sorry i m a noob at this networking stuff.

I ran the installation thing and it caused an error on my pc.

i m running Pentium 3 and Win ME.

sounds like you wanna have a read through their forums, perhaps post the error you got there to see if they know what/why/etc.

awww man. lots of works.
