do i forward these ports even if i dont have a router

[killermonkey]

1. You can't forward ports without a router
2. Try disabling Windows Firewall, although this puts you at increased risk for hacking/worms/trojans
3. Get cozy with an online reference to hosting a source game

There is only so much help we are willing to dish out, sometimes you have to use Google and learned yourself (intentionally misspelled)

well my question is simple then. how can i play a 1 on 1 game with someone.

Think the easiest way will to be download and use hamanchi and then host the server on the same computer as hamanchi and then connect via the lan window

[double0killa]

ok i downloaded hamanchi. i dont quite understand how to connect with it. it looks like a IM service. how do you play a lan game with someone over this

[steven_m64]

no offense meant but some people should just stick with playing consoles.

if you have no router then i assume your pc connects directly to the Internet via a cable/dsl/fiber modem?

then how do the other pc's connect to the Internet on your "lan"; via a switch/hub using windows Internet sharing using a secondary lan card from your pc? D:

having a lan game and 1v1s is easy plug and play stuff when you have a proper lan setup with a router.

no offense taken. but realize that everyone was a noob at this at one point. im just trying to understand more about it. like i said, i have between 20-30 people wanting to play this mod. they are noobs just like me. i figure since im the first one to get GES. the more i know, the less you have to hear.
