My Friend and I tried to play our first game over the internet.

He created a game, I tried to join. It timed out.

I created a game, he tried to connect. It timed out.

We both tried to connect to someone else's game and we could connect. Are we doing something wrong when creating the game? Do we need port forward or something?

Cheers,

Raven.

Bizarre!  Are you both using the same CD key maybe?  I could see that causing it maybe.

I would think it *could* be a router issue and not having the right ports enabled or whatnot, but its odd that you'd both be able to join other games.

The only other thing I can think of is to make sure you're both patched to the current version.  On the 1st menu in CIV, go to Advanced and Check for Updates.

Thats all I can think of and I'm grasping at straws.  Does anyone else have any ideas?

When you say join another's game, are you able to actually start play, or just reach the game's lobby?

The host of a game needs (an) additional port(s) open & or forwarded, IIRC, can't remember which... If neither of you have enough open probably all players whom attempt will time out.

yea I'm definitely having the same problem with my roommate at school. when I'm at home and he is at school it works fine but when were both at school it just times out every time. i don't know if its because were both on the schools network or what but its definitely confusing.
