Hi all. I want to create a match race and then put it as a server.

I've created the race, but I don't know what to do to have other sailors as competitors. Mort de rire

WD for creating the race.

Use the multiplayer/internet menu to create the race as a server.

Thank you very much for your help.

I've been able to be in the list of hosts, but nobody is able to go into my race. They say that probably is the firewall of my router.

I've disabled the antivirus protection but anyway nobody can go in.

Thanks

The most common issue with 'no-one joins my races' when hosting is a firewall problem. You can test to see if this is the case by using the programme Port Detective, which you can download from here - http://www.portdetective.com/ . I imagine that allowing any firm to probe your PC's ports must represent a security risk but I have used this programme for a few years without any problem.

If you find that port 2350 is closed, you need to open it on any firewall you have on your system, including your router. Have a look at the article here for info and links to other sites to help you do this - http://www.northspace.co.uk/hosting.html
