so ive got MechWarrior 4:Mercenaries from mektek, so ive got all that extra stuff and whatnot,
but i seem to have a problem getting into the multiplayer, which ive never been able to use untill now.
im able to see the servers there, but whenever i try to join a game an error pops up saying a couldn't join because of connection problems.
ive got a good connection, i play other multiplayer games fine.
anyone help with this problem of mine, i would sure like to play with you guys

Have you gone through the port forwarding tutorials over there yet?

If not I suggest you look at that stuff since MW4 is kind of old and uses various ports for online play.

If that doesn't fix it there is a tech support forum on the MekTek site that should be helpful.

You need to open ports 2300-2400 on your router and modem (if your modem also has router capabilities in it, I'm lookin at you verizon DSL modems...) If you aren't sure just look up your routers model number online and it should take you step by step. To find the port info it is in: your mektek.net/mech4 folder its a .txt file called README. Has all the networking stuff spelled out for ports etc. Enjoy!!
