[Grant85]

Could somebody help me and tell me waht i'm doing wrong.When I go to mulitiplayer and click ''go online'' it comes up saying ''master server not found ( check internet connection) ''
What should i do?

[Andy from Sandy]

At this point I sit in a corner and suck my thumb!

I don't know. I clicked go online and up came a dialog showing me all the sessions I could connect to. But before it did that my firewall asked me if I could let Phoenix accept connections from the internet.

Check your firewall. For a quick test maybe you could disable your firewall. In essence your settings need to be that phoenix must be able to connect and act as a server on the internet and trusted zone (local network)

Thanks Andy, I have disabled my firewall and now I'm able to go online
When I was trying before to join an online session I wasn't asked by my firewalls about wether to allow phoenix to connect to an online session.
I will probably have to disable my firewall everytime I go online in Phoenix from now on.

I wouldn't recomment that, Grant. If you go to your firewall settings, there should be a tab or button, or whatever, for programs you can allow to connect to the net, and what rights these programs have. Look in there, and hopefully you can work it out.

Sorry it's not more exact, but I'm not really a computer whizz.

[Andy from Sandy]

Having established your firewall is blocking check if you can make separate settings for individual programs in your firewall. If you can then set phoenix to have all privileges or whatever. Maybe do a google for your firewall and see if you can find some simple to understand (idiot proof) instructions.

It is bad if you leave it off as you are vunerable to attacks.

No worries, Grant. You'd be amazed how often that happens - I've got umpteen birthday cards "To Brain, best wishes"

Also, you should be able to open UDP ports in your firewall/router software. Phoenix uses ports in the range of 26500-26505.
