Ares net play over Airport Network?

Is it possible? If so what should I do to get it to work

------------------
Listed in the top 15 Ares plugin developers by Brookeview Technologies Worldwide. And apparently not very well liked by Joveia for reasons unknown to me...
Ares plugins to date: Earth's Journey Back To The Stars, Scenario Contest and Cantharan vs. Ishiman.
Ares plugins in development: Star Trek: Ares, Viva La Resistance.

I doubt it. What I think happens is that the computer tries to link up with the base station. Hey, it might work if you were the base station...

(EDIT: Didnt read title clearly enough -- oops!)
You should be able to join games as long as the Airport network is connected to the Internet. I think the newer Airport base stations come with a firewall, so you might have to figure out how to turn that off if you wish to host games on GR.

Well, I'd assume that AirPort assigns you an IP address for use on the network, and this should be manually configurable in the TCP/IP control panel.

I've never used multiplayer outside GR, but I'm pretty sure you enter in an IP address to connect. Just use the one you entered in for the other computer.

I'm not condemning the slaughter of children or anything, but I have airport too. To my knowledge everything is fine until you actually try and start a game. Forgot to add that.

Sorry to post so late but I know how to do this so I felt that I needed to post here.

Open up Airport Admin Utility.
Click Port Mapping.
Click Add.

Add these:

(For GameRanger)
Public Port: 15000
Private Address: 10.0.1. (enter in your IP from the network/tcp-ip panel)
Private Port: 15000

(For TCP/IP)
Public Port: 32130
Private Address: 10.0.1. (enter in your IP from the network/tcp-ip panel)
Private Port: 32130

Click OK.
Click Update.

Your done! 🙂

Then why did you have to post it on the board, and resurrect this dead topic which is in the wrong Forum anyway. 😛
