This is because they run their entire service behind a gateway and allocate RFC 1918 (what SimSig calls "internal"![]() No doubt they have a much more expensive service that gives you a public address. Log in to reply |

If I remember correctly in Italy the first time the broad-band was provided by fasteweb, there was the same problem (every users have only a private IP behind a very big NAT). This made impossible to host games, but for some games it was found a way to make the connection possible. I will look to see if I can get some documentation about this system. Maybe it can be used in your case too.

O2 Broadband advised me , when I signed up , that I would require a fixed IP address ( rather than dynamic changing addresses ) at a higher per month subscription rate in order to host any games. I have not taken this up. DavidR Log in to reply |
