Ok now up to A4 and one level higher than pyro

I may have problems with joining, because I still couldn't figure out why I couldn't join last weekend, although ports are forwarded and Diablo II is an exception in my Firewall options...

but this aside: Sat morning (i.e. lunch time here) is fine! Although I will have to do some item switching along the way, because till level 34 I have to change my current gear every level I'll try to fit it all in the stash though!

You're all on mumble, right? and you're all native speakers, right?

[Jcakes]

Maybe try taking your firewall down next game? If you are around I can host a game now and you can try and join?

[pharphis]

Hamachi is a virtual LAN. You download it, join a 'lan' and you can connect. Hamachi eliminates the need to configure ports. Host and Joiner both have to have it.

What I'm saying in my above post:
EX: I host. I am able to give my IP (real) and have people connect to me to play Diablo II. (All without Hamachi.) Ports, firewall, everything in working order.
Player A cannot connect to be via tcp/ip. Player B can connect to via tcp/ip.
Player B joins my game using my IP.
Player A joins my Hamachi network (read virtual LAN) and joins my game using my HIP(Hamachi IP).
Both players are able to join because: Hamachi doesn't change anything on your computer concerning tcp/ip. Hamachi creates a Virtual LAN where it is like Player A is directly connected in my house through my router. Player B does not have to be in my Hamachi Network to connect to me since he can connect to me via tcp/ip.

Take pyro for instance. He never used Hamachi until Sunday. We connected to him through tcp/ip and Real IP addresses. Since he is in your network now, - or he can create his own - we can connect to him with either IP or HIP. Both will work. Both will lead to the same IP, MAC Address, and game instance.

Ph, if you can only have 5 people in your group, and can host with tcp/ip as well, if anybody cannot connect with tcp/ip, they can join your network and connect that way. Others who can connect with tcp/ip can connect that way to free up spots in your network for those who cannot.



It should work that way, I see no reason why it would not.

Oh I see. Seems sort of redundant though because I can't think of why someone could join in hamachi but not with tcpip. I didn't think that's what you were trying to say. So for that reason I only see it useful for people who can't port forward. (I think I tried this but couldn't confirm if it worked before - I'll have to try it sometime)

Possibly redundant, but some people no matter what they do and try cannot get tcp/ip to work for them. Hamachi pretty much works out of the box. Just join a network, and you can connect to the others who have joined in the same network.

Anywho, Saturday sounds marvelous. Same time, different day, I'm assuming?

[Jcakes]

I assume so, saturday is good for me as well btw.

[Grisu]

@Jcakes: Would be very kind of you to set up a game to see if I can join!

[Pyrotechnician]

Grisu, I should be able to host a game later tonight depending on how late you plan on staying up. I know you are in germany and all.

[IVI E G A T O N]

Sorry guys, I have a rl/work conflict tomorrow morning and won't be able to play. I knew there was a possibility of this happening, but I just found out. Is there any interest in playing any during the weekdays?

[coju]

I'm able to play some during the weekdays. May noty play my main MP char, if that is fine by you.
