Erik Rutins -> TCP/IP FAQ (7/20/2005 6:54:31 PM)

Hi everyone,
This thread is intended as a TCP/IP play FAQ for those having problems figuring out how to set it up in CoG. This is based on CoG v1.0 and should generally apply to later releases as well.
1. If you do not know how to configure your router or firewall for online play, the best way to start is to read the documentation that came with your router. Usually the best way to get around this is to make sure your Windows Firewall (for Windows XP users) is enabled and then put your computer's internal IP address in the router's DMZ. If your router supports this, the documentation should explain how to do it. Then use the exceptions in Windows Firewall to allow the Crown of Glory executable file to have access through the firewall. The help on Windows Firewall explains how to do this. If you have a different setup, the basic idea is the same - the DMZ takes the router's configuration out of the equation as a problem and allowing the CoG.exe permission to get through the software firewall removes any software firewall issues. Some people have more complicated setups or are on ISPs that simply won't allow games to effectively connect with your computer. In this case, a call to your ISP may help.
2. To get started as the host or the client, launch Crown of Glory and click on "Remote Game". You'll see the pop-up dialog below appear.
