Can anyone help me setup a game up through my network at home i want to play on multiple computers at home but allow my friends internet access.
Any tips and guide to set this up would be helpful thanks in advance.

Certainly. The first thing I'd ask is are you using a router? If so, there are two things to note: 1) you need to set the router to open or forward the port you will use for TWGS so outside connections can connect; 2) note your external (ISP) IP address for outside players to connect.

You can access your TWGS via an internal IP. If you are using multiple computers at home, and one machine runs the TWGS, then your others can connect with the internal IP. Here's an example.

Lets say your ISP IP address is 10.20.30.40, and you have 4 machines at home. Your machines are set to have an IP 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3, 192.168.0.4, and 192.168.0.5 and your TWGS is on 192.168.0.5. You set your TWGS to use port 2002, and in the router you set the port to forward incoming connections for port 2002 to 192.168.0.5. Then you give your outside friends your ISP IP (10.20.30.40) to connect. You can connect from any of your machines at home via the internal IP 192.168.0.5. That's assuming that you have a router and you are somewhat familiar with networking and designating internal IP's on a network.

If you are unclear, or require a deeper explanation, let me know. Always willing to help out.

outside address probably wont be 10.20.30.40 i think thats internal

but you get the picture... you can get your external ip by just going to whatismyip.com

internal ips by just running an ipconfig @ a dosprompt.

For those of you who dont want to worry about your "internal address", your machine has a "name" as well. From the dos prompt type : telnet machine_name that name works from all your machines on the same subnet.

Yes i am using a router and all my computers have interent currently i just don't know how to setup the router to forward incoming.

ICQ me tomorrow and I can walk you thru port forwarding.

I have found out how to forward but i am having trouble finding my password to be able to do the steps.

What password are you referring to?
The one to your router?

Yes i had a guy set it up and now i can't find the password but do not want to hard reset because i don't know how to setup the router for my other computers.

I think i am just going to have my rother run the game and not worry about using my networked computers.

Is there a way to move the game forward a day so to update citadels but not just turn computer clock forward.

The default username/password on most home routers is ADMIN/ADMIN

Great, now I have to change mine lol

Oh wait I did that already.

Um, Thrawn-
don't use "Password" either.

Is this really a subject that belongs in the Game Rebangs Forum?
