can't find the post I put up over there, anyway waht I did:

quote from over there

"<i>Q: What port do I open for NovaWorld?

A: The port is a random number between 32768 and 65535. Open up that port range on your firewall. If you want to specify the port so you don't have to open them all... go to the game.cfg file in your install directory.

Press CTRL+F to get a "Find" window, and search for "port".

You should see the following...

----------------------------------

mpnovaworldportmin = "32768"
mpnovaworldportmax = "65535"
mpnovaworldportdelta = "1"
mpnovaworldportrandom = "1"

----------------------------------

If you want to change the ports that the game uses, modify the "mpnovaworldportmin" and "mpnovaworldportmax" ports. You can make them both 32768 if you want."</i>

I made these the same number, first making sure that nothing else was using this port, using a port monitor
you could probably just run->command->netstat -a.

<i>"You can set the port by changing "mpnovaworldportrandom" to "0". This will turn off the random port selection and will start at the "mpnovaworldportmin" port."</i>

I set this to zero

Set my pc up for static i.p e.g 192.168.0.100 where the router is 192.168.0.1
so the pc is ip
192.168.0.100 subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1, dns from run->command->ipconfig -all

Set port forwarding in router for novaworld port ->192.168.0.100
