Bored of all the router-problem-having people on WormNET 3D, I've set up a simple unofficial help page. Go there if you're having problems. wormnet.rdmsoft.com Feel free to post support questions here, but they'd be better off at the official forum where cowlibob (the lead W3D GameSpy programmer) is answering questions. edit - official forum is down. meh.

You may have noticed the following sentence in the Worms 3D readme file: "If you decline the installation of GameSpy Arcade it will not be possible to connect to Wormnet successfully and participate within Internet games." This is a direct lie. GameSpy Arcade is not required for online play and I personally recommend that you do not install it.
you serious? why would Team17 have put it in the installation package then?
vn website btw when i get w3d ill go through it step by step. ty.

Yes. It's a lie. Team17 have been saying for months that we won't need Arcade, and yet they put the opposite in the readme.

I haven't got W3D yet but I plan on getting it. I have the XP firewall turned on but I haven't found it notorious. After finding out the right ports to open, I've been able to play and host games on W2, WA, and WWP, with the XP firewall on no problem. Perhaps you could add some help for exactly which ports to open for W3D? Cheers!

Ok, I've reworded that bit and added info about setting it up properly. It's just my point was that it needed extra setup, whereas with ZoneAlarm you get asked the first time you use WormNET, choose Yes, and it's done. And the port information is there, straight from the staff thread in the official forum. Which seems to be working now.

rofl no need to be picky, take it in context. I meant notorious for giving gamers troubles... as tundrah has said on his page before he re-worded it.
