    Hello, yes, I love Raceroom but, after all these years, this is the worst issue for me in Raceroom, I tried today with two different computers, and it was impossible, it makes me quite angry.

    It is hard for me to understand how any simple idiotic game, old or new have the capacity of setting up public servers or public games, but Raceroom fails so badly in this...

    it might be your routers fault, it might be your isp fault
    the program works if the ports are open
    if the router or the isp block those ports its not racerooms fault

    Hello Chris and Andi,

    Thanks for answering, I did all port opening...and stuff, but is not working, I got it to work, like a year ago from my gaming PC, the one I drive from, but not from the second PC, I want to use a different PC so I save some power.

    I will try again just in case I missed something, anyway, I think, it should not been so complicated, I see it as hard to set up, a least for a basic user like me. I will give it a go again but it is really frustrating...

    Thanks.

    I run the server on a second PC and I definitely had to open the ports and do port forwarding.....just make sure theres enough 0's in there (pretty sure you need one more than the document says dont quote me tho, as it was ages ago that i set it up), that was my stumbling block to get it working that took ages to discover

    Hope you get it sorted
    Chris
