Alkero, make sure that your connections settings are correct. Depending on what firewall/AV you are running, you may need to add Mechwarrior to your 'excludes' list. Also, try tabbing out once you try to join a server and make sure that your AV isn't hollering for permission to connect behind the MW screen. Failing that, you may have to open certain ports to allow the game to communicate. I had to do that in the past, though I did not have to do that on this particular machine and OS which is Windows 7 64-bit with AVG 2012 and Zonealarm as my defensive components. Hope this helps.

Ok server has been tested by Bremer, and he's managed to make it in, make sure you have the correct ports forwarded on the router to get on there, and the password has a capital K in Kerensky. make sure you jump on the TS3 server as well, IP:86.160.83.99:9987

[Alkero]

~S~ All,

It was great to hear from some of you on teamspeak last night, I know it was late notice and a bit of an adhoc session with port forwarding and stuff but a couple of us did get some drops in. I'll hopefully be running another session tomorrow and will confirm details tomorrow night on TS3 and suchlike.

[Darth JarJar]

I should be available for some drops, just let us know when the server will be up.

You need to go to www.portforward.com & see the ports you need to open for MW4. Opening ALL your ports will leave you very exposed. That is a hackers paradise.

~S~ Wolf Spiders,

As I won't be logging on tomorrow or a few days after that may I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, and for any who might not celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays! Here's looking forward to an EXTREMELY Battletech related 2012 with Mechwarrior Online and Mechwarrior Tactical Command we're all going to be very busy.

Looking forward to serving with you all on the field, I'll run another session as soon as possible and will update the forums with IPs and such in due course.
