How to play multiplayer

[K_Freddie]

Every computer on the network has what is called an IP address, and to connect to that computer you also need a Port number...

Think of the computers being a row of houses along the street.
- The street is the network connecting the houses.
- Each house has a street number (The IP address) (eg: 10.45.89.239 or 103.1.59.100)
- Each house has 2 (or more) doors, front and back, that you use to get into the house (The Port numbers) (anywhere from 1 -65536, there are a lot of reserved numbers))

So if you want to talk to the people (the game server) inside a house you must have a street address (IP), to go to.. and a door (Port) to knock on. The people inside, if they are expecting you, will open the door and you can go inside. If you knock on the wrong door (wrong port number), but right house, they won't answer.

Very simple...

The server format is 123.456.789.123:21000
123.456.789.123 -> the IP address
21000 -> the Port number (This is the default for IL2)
: -> IP/Port seperator

You just have to find the servers IP address and 'fill in the spaces'...

Software like Hyperlobby Client (HL) does this automatically for you, and most game servers are linked to the HL server so you have to install HL client which then automatically takes you to the game server listing - Read the HL manual first.

They do give me what I want, but their server requires HFSX to play. It is going to take me a long while before I can finish download it. So I was just wondering if anybody play online game without HFSX, I am thinking maybe go there as a Mercenarie and play with them for a while untill I finish download HFSX.

Hello again, one of the Dogz (FoolTrottle) runs the UbiZoo co-ops using 4.11 on a Saturday night 7:30 ish UK time look in this thread for details http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...o-Coops/page14
I think that Giap use HSFX due to their fondness of SEOW. Maybe I can talk the Dogz into doing another with the Giap

Thanks mate. And sorry to bother you like this, but one more question, how can I find out my IP address for my friend to play online game with me?

6. FIRST CONNECT

Upon your first connection you must create a user account. Create you own account:

Type your own callsign into the "CALLSIGN:" textbox **,***
Type your password into the "PASSWORD:" textbox **,***
Check the checkbox "REMEMBER" if you want to use the "automatic password remember" function.
Press the "CONNECT" button.
You may get game the location dialog (installation for some games cannot be detected automatically), which will be explained in the next part of the guide.
Have look at the chat window.
The server will ask you to confirm your password from the "PASSWORD:" textbox (enter it at the chat line).
The server will then ask you to type your email (enter it at the chat, and make sure it is correct).
... enjoy your new account !!!

There is a checkbox beside the "CALLSIGN:" textbox. If you check it, HL will connect automatically every time you run the HL application. The remember password checkbox is beside the "PASSWORD:" textbox.

* When you get the chat message "Wrong password or invalid username", you are trying register using an already registered user account, which is not allowed.
** Do not use other user accounts gived to you by your friends or anyone else, otherwise you will get really bad problems.
*** Passwords and callsigns are not case sensitive
