Alternative to tunngle?

posted on April 14th, 2010, 1:46 pm

As people are aware, I really just can't seem to get online. If anyone can have a solution for it I'd be happy to listen.

Situation:
- I have the latest tunngle.
- I have its needed port open
- I opened those Direct Play 8 ports just in case
- I can see can chat with people on the service
- I CAN'T see or get onto any games.

Have you disabled other network adaptors and made sure that tunngle is enabled?  Have you run the program as administrator at least once?  Are you selecting tcp/ip in the game menu?  Have you gone through tunngle's faq and troubleshooter to see if that would fix it for you?  What did their forum say for people who had the exact same issue?

Sorry man, but we'll be on tunngle for a long, long time.  It's easy to join, the lag issues aren't as bad, and the largest number of people have been able to make it work.  Did I mention it's easy to join?

I have been googling. I found that hamachi has a new version. I want to test to see if there is improvements. PM me if so willing. I know it is a step back, but for all we know it could be better than b4.

It's not.  It was simply bought out by a different company.  There really wasn't much of a change to the free version.  Keep trying to get tunngle to work, gamer.  I have faith in you.

I believe mine works - thankfully because I remember Bigmac saying who's is that game named WOOP - I'm lucky with Tuungle

I'm on Windows 7 Premium 64bit... Tunngle worked out of the box for me... *shruggs*

  Gamer, if you're using Windows 7, try changing network type from "public" to "home", see if that works for you. It worked for me.

I switched to wippien because it works for me.

  It's not that I don't like them, but those spheres are pure abominations screaming for RUSH.
I'm not up to that.

I know what you mean, regeneration plus passive regeneration ontop of the prime module is tough. That reminds me, before I forget I wanted to do a game review for us all if none of you mind. I'll post it in Online Gaming and it'd be cool if you could both make your own and lemme know what you thought?

I wish some of the big players still use wippien. Dom, Mal, Mort, come back. I want to game you!

I'm not up to that.

Spheres are actually good in balance. Keep in mind that Borg don't have half the quantity of ships other factions have, even if played very well.

  That may be the case Raven, but try to deal with spheres under 5 FPS or so, and other related issues that I have. Your idea of rush problably differs a lot from what rush is in my case.
I never mentioned that spheres are unbalanced / or balanced. I'm totally oblivious to balance issues and that is because of my other problems that I have.

  Ducky, you have my go on your review. :p
