I am a fan of Chaos Overlords but unfourtunatly havent been lucky enough to be able to play in internet with a friend......we both try to use WinSock option while I host the game but always appear the error "the host doesnt exist or is not ready"............If some good soul out there know how to solve this problem pleaseee reply here, I already tried kind everything :tai:

Now I have found that when a friend of mine hosts a game it actually works, it seems when I host a game my real IP adress doesnt appear to be the one working it appears this one - 192.168.1.2

My ip is not this one I dont know wat prevents me to host! I tried to turn off firewall and check other options but maybe I dont have the qualification to solve this by myself.

There should be an option to define your IP adress in the multiplayer game settings. Try to find it.

That is easy to say but with that hint I cant really do much cause I have been over and over my router configuration and cant find the source of the problem!

I know this is an old thread, but I'm posting this for future reference.

As with any multiplayer game that uses direct IP, normally if you're playing someone from behind a router you'll need to forward the ports used by the game to your computer. Unfortunately, you need to know which ports are used by the game, and I haven't been able to find what these ports are.

Thankfully, there's an easier way to play someone over the internet. I'd recommend using a program called Tunngle. Essentially it creates a virtual network between you and your friends, through which you can play LAN games. I haven't actually tested Chaos Overlords, but it should work this way .

Yep, hamachi should also work in the same way as Tunngle. I generally recommend Tunngle though, since it's more likely to work with games ^^
