Hi I’m getting a bit annoyed now that nearly all my games won’t work online except Call of duty
Today my friend and I were trying to play a game of Medieval 2 online however when we tried to connect to each others game (we both tried hosting) we were presented with a "NAT Negotiation failed" message.
In other games with friends (i.e. Halo) the only way to allow people to connect to me (and them) was by getting them to direct IP connect and instead of giving them my computers IP I give them my routers IP. This seems to by pass the problem in halo.
But in medieval there is no way of direct connecting
Does anyone now what the problem is with NAT and what it is? (Is it the port forwarding thingy?)
My router is a BT Home Hub
Myslef and my friend both turned off our softwere based firewalls
has anyone got any suggestions?
cause i have only had broadband now for like 4 months and in that time have bearly used it for online gaming mainly due to this problem and my computer throwing a wobbly. A while back
