Are you sure its just that nobody is joining? Nobody has ever gotten an error like that (I think). I know that if certain people join your server and quit nobody else can join after that.

Is it something to do with your firewall blocking the ports, that are supposed to be allowed to have people join your server?

Hmmm... Don't know much about McAfee, I have Norton.

I'd try getting help at the McAfee forums, they shoulld be able to help you with allowing ports to be opened for hosting games.

Try searching for "hosting games" with the forum's search feature.

i got the same prob to even when they have the same version they can't join.

talmeeno · Post by **talmeeno** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 12:35 pm

hmm ye well i think i fixed the "they cant see the game even" thing fixed they now can see the game because i gave the port 2302 access to send and retrieve information.

but now it goes into connecting to server......... retrying server (1) ....... retrying server (2).... etc is what it is doing to them now.

so ye if anyone has this problem of they cant even see the game in the arcade or lobby or watever it called PM me and i will help but i still stuck on the part where they cant join the game.

feel free to give more information thnx.
