- Falcon4 SP4x uses the following port assignments... make sure they are open & forwarded if using Router/NAT/Firewall software
UDP 2934-2940
- Jetnet Ingame match finder(JETNET server DOWN) ***

*** As of 1/01/04
- Troubleshooting instructions:
Check SP3 manual pg 115-124 for indepth MP connect info & troubleshooting tips
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Test your internet connection's *sustained* speed before proceeding:
Go here to test UPLOAD spd:
www.dslreports.com/tools
- Use closest COMMS drop-down menu option OR commandline switch (both stepped down 25%) to your TESTED AVG UPLOAD SPD.
ex Tested upload spd 230kb/s, use 112kb/s in dropdown menu or "-bandwidth 170" (no quotes) in shortcut/hlobby.ini commandline.
- MAKE SURE ALL COMMANDLINE SWITCHES are mirrored in your hlpro.ini file **
Check SP3 manual pg 115-124 for indepth MP connect info & troubleshooting tips

- IF using multiple installs to launch Falcon thru Hyperlobby ***
MAKE SURE THE HL CLIENT IS POINTING TO THE PROPER ACTIVE DIRECTORY/INSTALL:
SHIFT-CTRL-LEFT MOUSE BUTTON + CONNECT WHEN LOGGING IN TO HL WILL TELL YOU WHAT DIRECTORY HL IS POINTING TO.

*,** must test avg U/L spd 1st

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- RESTART Falcon4 SP4 before changing/starting online games.
- Turn Jetnet OFF when using Hyperlobby
- Wait min. of 3min before reconnecting to a game
- For MAXIMUM STABILITY All players MUST have similar Patch, and SPconfing file settings
ex: FFx and FFx, SPx and SPx, BMS and BMS

Jetnet is turned ON/OFF via the falconSP config editor.
There should be a link for it on your desktop (if you installed SP3 with the default settings)
BTW JetNet is operational again.
Its master-server IP is now:
216.15.240.131
It's NOT recommended to run both Hlobby and JetNet concurrently

Bravo,
Check the SP3 users manual MP section on how to configure falcon to recognize your external IP addriess.
Basically... run 'netchk.exe' in the F4 root dir.
It will list all adapters (modem,NIC,etc) that Falcon recognizes.
One of the entries should be your external IP address.
Add the -IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx commandline switch
( where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your external IP)
to your shortcut and you're good to to.

Can anyone explain where to unzip campaign files to? Iraqi Freedom has a couple of files in the zip, what's the directory for them. |

Never installed it ... but most Falcon addon-zips usually go in the Falcon root directory, with the 'use subfolders' option checked..
Check the zip for a ReadME.txt file 1st
Unless it says otherwise, use the above method <g>
