The first requirement is that two computers, with two instances of the Software, have an internet connection. When you are Player #1 and your friend or girlfriend Player #2, for example, on both your computers: WIFI should be On.
There are multiple configurations possible like in a multiplayer (2 players) game !
When making the Connection together, with two programs of the same given Software title. Be aware of the fact you have to make that Connection very quickly because after Clicking [Connect] there is a time out interval of ca. 3 seconds waiting for the other to respond.
Then try communicating for this verbally or by Smartphone or Whatsapp when doing this for making the Connection timed and right.
Case #1
[Connect]-ing two computers in a (Wireless) home network situation using KPN Modem Sagemcom box B12.First you may want to know what is possible and should happen, when a connection is established between two instances of such a Net Connect 4 Game over two Windows 10 or 11 systems. You can touch, or click with your mouse, let's say 'teleport' Game Play Data like this, in the following way:
Player #1 turns on UPnP IGD in the KPN Sagemcom Experia box B12 Modem/Router. UPnP IGD must be enabled in the modem settings due to... the security ? It is possible for gaming according to the KPN (provider in the Netherlands) forum.
Log in onto your Modem.
Make a modem rule for portforwarding named Net Connect 4 in the Modem in the Netherlands with KPN glassfiber and make sure it is enabled.
You will find portforwarding; it is found under the 'Beveiliging' (Security) menu once when you are logged in, in the Modem settings.
Let's say in this way: you are Player #1, on the Laptop, your friend Player #2, on the Microsoft Surface Go 2 tablet computer.
Then the rule: Player #2 is searching the host address of his or her tablet for filling in a new entry in the Modem portforwarding setting. Use CMD.EXE (search field on your taskbar) & ipconfig on your Windows Surface Go 2 tablet computer.
You can fill in this entry for a modem rule on your Laptop with the system name of your tablet computer, use protocol: TCP, use port 1200, doel (target) then for example.. (when found the private range IP Address from that tablet) e.g. 192.168.2.5 .
VPN should be disabled or OFF on both systems.
Type this IP address in an Net Connect 4 instance in the inputfield for the IP Address next, don't hit Enter yet on your keyboard of that tablet computer.
Confirm and Save the rule etc. And Log out of the Modem. You have to do these Modem Settings only once. I shall state this only once. It applies every case throughout the following testcases or Manual descriptions.
Next Player #1 is searching, using Edge and ipconfig the (wireless) external host address on the WAN next, this will Player #1 fill in in the inputfield of his or her or program later, not hitting Enter yet, see below.
Player #1 is typing in his or her inputfield on the screen with the keyboard the host IP address of the Laptop computer on the WAN. Find this at https://whatismyipaddress.com for example. This IP address of his or her computer of which he/she should have been writing it down earlier, remembering it from a note or by head.
Player #2 is typing in the inputfield on the screen of the program on the tablet computer, of Player #2, .. the IP address found also in the rule (as the target address, dutch:'Doel' IP-ADDRESS which you made earlier in the Modem Settings) for your tablet computer (-name). This rule is the Modem rule made earlier on your Laptop and!?/or!? tablet computer.
It is the tablet host IP address which Player #2 should have been writing down earlier, then remembering it for the purpose of making the Connection eventually later again with portforwarding in a second, third.. etc. time when you want to play Net Connect 4.
Don't hit Enter yet.
So that is the host address found while running CMD.exe (Command Prompt) and command: ipconfig[Enter] on your tablet computer as well, they should be the same in Net Connect 4 inputfield for the IP ADDRESS on that tablet thus !! They are identical.
Both Players should click or touch: [Listen] now. Player #1 is counting 3..2..1.. fast & Player #1 touches or clicks with the mousepointer [Connect]. Shortly now, merely at the same moment, or within 1 or 2 sec. approximately later, Player #2 should do the same. Mind the order of actions described and the last clicking of [Connect] within the 3 seconds time out ?
You did it.
Result: Test Succeeded ! Connection established. Now the sentence 'Connection established' will be heard on the two systems at the almost same time and the Connected symbol/icon should appear also.
Now both Players hit the Start button on the program on the two systems.
Now the Players can Play Connect 4. Each drop a chip in the blue rack by selecting a column of the rack clicking or touching that column !
Enjoy !
Case #2
[Connect]-ing the computer's Modem KPN Experia 10A Box over ADSL & the internet with your opponent (to an Online.nl Provider Modem, for example): within a city. Out of that city, or (with)in any cities, towns or townships is expected to function properly typically or normally too:Let's say: you are Player #1, your opponent Player #2..
Fill in the Modem with Poort forwarding, nieuw item (or existing item, while repeating the test/procedure), LAN Host : the host address of the internal host as acquired in the way of Case #1 in my case it is 192.168.2.8 .. (use CMD.EXE & then ipconfig in order to get it again..)
The rule for my opponent in his Modem remains the same like in previous testcase Case #1, as way ago was set for his Online.nl Modem (some years ago for NetMemory.exe, I believe)..
Next my opponent Player #2 is looking up his external IP host address via..
