If your having problems hosting/joining a network game then please make sure you have read through and followed our FAQ first and this thread so save the same issue being posted over and over again. If you are still having problems once you have followed the FAQ then please post in this thread, in order for us to then help you further, we are going to need as much information as possible from you, by this we mean the following types of information:Operating system?Service packs installed?Net connection?ISP?Router involved?Anti virus software?Firewall software?If unsure, please ask!It is possible that you cannot play online because your firewall is preventing you from doing so, in this case you could disable your firewall and then see (test) if FM works via Online play. Obviously, some firewalls may also have configurations which will âallowâ certain applications to bypass it. (Please consult your Firewall manual)Also relating to your firewall, it is possible to âforwardâ ports on your router to enable FM to communicate, please note, there are many different types of modems/routers out there on the market and they all function differently too, however, if you require some more information about Port Forwarding, then please visit the following website : http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm and look for your modem in the list. The ports that require forwarding are 10093 and 10094. (Please consult your Modem/Router manual if unsure. It is your own responsibility to forward ports)If you are not sure what your IP address is then you can use the following website to find out : http://www.whatismyip.com/ (This is the address to give to all the people you wish to join your network game)Please remember, we will not configure your router or firewall for you, thatâs upto you to do, we will only advise you on what the possible causes are that you cannot host/join a network game.Previously Asked QuestionsQ. "Does everyone in an online game need to be running the same version (with the patch or without)?"A. Yes everyone needs to run the same versionQ. "How do I regain control of my team?"A. "Left click on your name or team and a pop up should appear - resume control of team x."Q. "What do I do if I have two IP with a / in between?"A. "This will be because the host has a router. One of the IPs is his/her internal IP and the second is his/her external IP. The host gives out the second IP to those trying to join. It can also be found at whatsmyip.com mentioned earlier in the thread.Q. " When I try to connect a pop up saying "unable to connect to server" what do I do?A. "The host or someone connecting has not forwarded ports for their router so will be unable to join. Refer back to the opening post for information on how to forward ports.Q. " Hi I want to set up a game of FM online, do we need the same databases?"A. "Everyone playing the game will need the exact same database in order to run a stable online game.Maybe a work around for those whose are saying they can play FM07 but cannot seem to get a game of FM2008 up and running. This was posted by Flint:All those with problems joining/making a game on 08 but could do it fine on 07, check to see if you only get one IP, if you do then this is the solution:Go to your router settings (type in 192.168.0.1 in IE. My router will probably be different to yours but i go into a tab called WAN setup and then check the box saying 'Default DMZ Server' again this might differ depending on your router, then it should be 192.168.0.?? the last number/s you can change, change this to your local IP which you can find out in football manager, apply this and your internet will restart (make sure all your ports are open with this ip also) and then HAZAR! It's fixed.Try doing that and see if you get any joy.
