"Conflicting IP"?

How do you host it? On your home PC? Or on some server?

Home PC?

I use my computer at home if that's what you mean...

Gamespy problem

Yes, but what do you mean by "host a game"? On your PC at home or on some server far away?

And what does the error say?

Conflicting IP?

Sounds like you are trying to run a LAN game instead of a net game

Well I can't host lan and for some reason by Lan no one can access my shared files but I can access all theres! What the...?

And on gamespy if I try to host a game I get the message -

Proxy of Firewall Detected.

GameSpy Arcade has detected that your computer's internal IP address (192.168.0.2) is different than its external IP address (220.240.106.247). This may be caused by firewalls, a NAT proxies, or other unusual network configurations and may prevent you from hosting a game. Please see how firewall guide etc.

Uff, networks

Let me tell you that network problems are some of the nastiest and sometimes unsolvable.

Is your computer online (= directly connected with the internet = is the modem directly connected with your PC)?

OR: Are you LAN connected with another PC that is online?

If the second thing is the case, your problem might be unsolvable.
If the first thing is the case, then your only problem is a proxy and that is usually solvable.

I know, Lanning and all that is the biggest bitch in computing what soever! But normally it works its self out or theres someone to fix it for me!

There's only the one computer connected directly into the Adsl modem!

IP Help

Do you actually know what your real IP address is? If not visit this site and see for yourself

checkip.dyndns.org

Next, find out what is the address of the proxy server that's giving you crap. You might want to configure your game to that IP.
