Hi!

A little unique problem. I am a licenced S2 user, and I would like to host an internet race with one of my PC's and join the same race with the other PC from the same LAN, so that it is open for others on the internet as well. Naturally, I host the demo version, and run demo on my second PC.

I am connected through an ADSL router. I forwarded the ports on the router and hosted a race. Everything works and others see my host and can join and race. I also can join PC's locally, on a LAN, but that is irrelevant for my problem.

The problem is that my second PC does not see my host name listed from the master server and therefore cannot join?! It sees other hosts online but my host name is not on the list. My online friends can join and race however.

Is there a way to solve that problem, as I would like to have two racers at home (LAN) and other friends join from the Internet?

Thanks for your help!

Use the LAN ip of the pc running the game. Using the master server list in this instance is completely redundant. There are various other posts explaining this.

Thanks for a quick reply. It was a kind of hard for me to think of a good search for my problem, as I know how to configure the network parameters, and most of the people ask about that.

Never crossed my mind that my host can accept both LAN and WAN connections, cool, everything works now, like a charm
