sonoffett87 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hey guys, I've played a few exhibitions so far, but I've only been able to join. I am having trouble hosting (or at least people are having trouble joining). Perhaps this is a common issue with a simple fix: is there a setting in Gens that needs to be changed or do I potentially need to change my firewall settings (not sure if it is different for hosting vs. joining) ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallywojo Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 usually i have seen that as a firewall issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingraph Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 99% of the time it's firewall. Gotta allow GENS through (and Hamachi, I think, but not sure). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed something in the firewall settings.. not sure what, but hopefully next time I try to host it will work. If not I have an idea of what to do. Thanks again!

smozoma Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 is this with or without hamachi/logmein? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoffett87 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 is this with or without hamachi/logmein? It was with hamachi. But I went into my firewall settings, flipped some switches, and it all works now (just hosted with Jack Vandal). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 It was with hamachi. But I went into my firewall settings, flipped some switches, and it all works now (just hosted with Jack Vandal). Hey sonoffett, how did you fix your hamachi issue? Someone is having a similar problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoffett87 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hey sonoffett, how did you fix your hamachi issue? Someone is having a similar problem... It was a while ago so my memory is a little foggy - I just checked on Google. I think it was the following actions: Go to Device Manager Expand Network Adapters Right Click on Hamachi and enable it Let me know if this helps out!
