Hi David,
I have just tried every IP type address I can find in my modem/Router. One of them gets to the point that it asks for the password of the room I created, then it tells them they cannot join at this time. So it gets close. My ping still shows as 9999. Could it be something to do with port forwarding or port triggering?
Thanks
