Hello my dear tennis friends,

after being a (silent) member of the Tennis Elbow online gaming communty for more than 2 years now, I consider myself an addict. hehe. Well, the thing is, that I am nowadays having problems with being able to host an online game. I had this problem when I was starting to play back then, spending hours testing my router and finally being able to host. Nowadays I decided to move and I was forced to change my ISP and my troubles started again. My previous knowledge is no good, since all previous settings failed to enable me to host an online game (before I found out it was enough for me to open the 4321 UDP port and create a virtual server with my IP). This setttings is no longer enough. Guys, I am an occasional online gamer nowadays, of course I bought the full game, and I would be able to spend monthly fees for being able to play Tennis Elbow, I love this game THIS much but I really want to be able to host my own games (I tend to stick to official tour settings of this game, even though I dont play it myself due to time restriction). Would it be possible to make the hosting of online games a little more user-friendly? I am sorry for pushing it, but TE is really the one and only online game that I've got left after loads of MMO, and I cannot afford to lose it. Thanks for any reply.

Hello,

the problem is not much with TE, but with the network configuration. I have a PnP Router, a cheap one offered by my ISP, and I have nothing to do to get the port opened, it just works... This standard exists since years and manufacturers selling non-PNP router should be burnt on public places...

Thus said, you should look on forum dedicated to your router and/or to your ISP to get instructions about how to open your UDP port 4321. (maybe check there 1st for general advices => topic8-9923.php )
