<![CDATA[Hosting with 2.0]]>Is it currently possible to join a lobby with 2.0 or have a live game via direct connection?

I'm trying to join the lobby, but I can't.

I'm hosting a Networked Game, then giving my Server Port and Server Address to someone, for him to join via "Connect to Networked Game", but he says he gets "IOException: Connection refused" (yes, I've opened my ports and I can host with those same port and address in the stable lobby).

How can I get a live game with someone using 2.0?

A, right, this must be the reason. I was giving the Address I get when I host, that is just the 192.168.1.x private one the router uses. I'll try again giving my actual IP.

  • Are you certain you're both on the same exact version?
  • Does this work for the latest 1.9.x stable?
  • When you host a game, can you get a 'telnet' connection to your game?
    • Open up terminal "run > cmd"
    • run telnet telnet <your_ip> <port>, eg: telnet 205.50.25.01 3300
      You can see an example of what it should look like by connecting to lobby: telnet lobby.triplea-game.org 3304
  • Have your potential opponent run the same telnet command using your IP address and hosted port while you are hosting a game, are they able to establish a connection?
