Can't ping either, everything times out. Can you use default windows firewall instead of zone alarm? I was using ZA and always had to turn it off while playing MP games despite that everything was added everywhere.

Yeah, turning off or uninstalling zonealarm is probably a good idea. Make sure Windows Firewall also has the right exceptions for Pitboss.

Time for some more testing:
- Shut down Zonelabs.
- Windows Firewall is off.
- Disabled Firewall in the router.
- Enhanced portforwarding in the router to both TCP/UDP 2050 - 2060

Please post if you tried and succeeded or not. Afaik there is little more I can do to give access.

I was able to log in this time.

Note: make sure to turn on simultaneous moves when we start.

I myself have got the firewall on the router turned off; just ZoneAlarm is on.

And I turned on "no tech brokering" when making the scenario, as a suggestion. Good idea? IMO it should be either that or no tech trading at all.

Finally: does anything need to be changed to the map? Otherwise we can start!

So it is possible to connect! I leave it without the firewall upcoming 24 for ppl to test and switch on Zonelabs tomorrow for a final technical test. Don't like to stand with my fly open.

What's the difference between "no tech brokering" and "no tech trading" precisely?

About clock settings: the Pitboss seems to add about 2 hours to 24 on its own so I'm considering to start at 22 hours turntimer.

Last but not least. Now it is possible to connect to my gear we can start the civ assignment process. How about leader-of-choice btw? It is a BTS feature where everybody can choose any leader with their Civ.

You could turn on ZoneAlarm now, so that I can check whether I can log in now.

With "no tech brokering" you can only give the techs you invented yourself, but not those you gained from others.

That doesn't have my preference. First of all one of the funs of playing the world map is that civs are on their right spot, and that should include leaders. Secondly, it'll be very confusing. Thirdly, civs are randomly assigned to players; we're already taking into account they're fairly balanced, and so are the leader traits.

Zonealarm switched on, same player shoots again.

I don't mind who i get tbh, i'd even be fairly happy getting rome again but i'd prefer not too.

i'd prefer no tech trading personally.

akots · 22-10-2007, 23:24

Would we still have 2 settlers on start?

akots · 22-10-2007, 23:26

BTW, if there is an option to pick up the leader, I'd rather choose something. May be Native American Sitting Bull. He was a nice guy and the place is not too far south. I think I'm developing a liking for the tundra recently.
