I have been looking through all the forums, I tried everything that I could that I could think/that i heard of, and I still haven't found a solution to making swr.net work, as it keeps saying im the only one in the lobby, and I know that there is like 1- 10 other people there. I have looked in the options and 1. it did say im using a 169.(something) ip address, but i do not know how to fix it without using hamachi or port forwarding (i heard people used/done them and it worked fine.) I've been trying and researching all day, still no luck. If anybody would like to give any advise/solution please do, and while your at it try to be detailed.

turn direct connect off or port forward ur router correctly
and make sure swrnetclient is not blocked in your fire wall.
if all that doesnt work reinstall swrnet

i tried everything no work,

also i am using shockwave on origin version of ultimate edition, and i tried using game ranger, but it doesn't let me hook it up to shockwave, is there a fix for that?
