Author Topic: Can't join Internet games or host them (Read 1017 times)

Zaure · April 04, 2009, 01:37:21 PM

I desperately need help, I'm having a major problem. Whenever I try to start a Internet game it says "Connecting to Local Host" I wait 5 min and it still says that. When I try to join Internet games it says "Subnet Error: This does not appear to be a LAN game: 1". I even made a fresh re-install, no add-ons or anything installed.

By the way, at the bottom it always says "Authentication: Validating key..." and never finishes.
Please help!!!

Yes, I've port forwarded, but that has nothing to do with this. Other games are not interfering. Thanks for trying to help though.

Port forwarding removes the barrier of the router so that Blockland can connect straight to the interwebz
It has nothing to do with multiple games

No, It allows a router to forward blockland data to the correct computer on a network.

This sounds like a firewall problem, try turning off your antivirus and windows firewall to see if it works then - if it does you know where the problem is.

I tried that and it still did not work. Guys, I really need help with this.
