Ok, so I tried to join a few multilayer games and I got the message "Rejected by host" then I tried to host a game and it said that my firewall settings would prevent people from joining. I turned off my firewall still got the message. My friend hosted a game and he also got the message. We are both running vista. Thanks for the help.

Are you using a router? Have you portforwarded port 6112 to your local ip? (probably something like 192.168.0.100).

Fill in Application as whatever you want to remember it as. Probably "Sins" or something of the sort. From 6112 to 6112, protocol TCP, IP address [whatever your local IP is].

I also have port 6000 open for TCP, same local IP... not sure if this is needed or not- I've heard yesses and Ive heard nos.

Make sure you enable them.

If you don't know your local IP:

Start menu -> run -> cmd [enter]

At the prompt: ipconfig

Most of the time it's 192.168.1.xxx

Also keep in mind that game that are active will give you that message as well, so it has nothing to do with you.

Thanks gonzo. I did what you said (Including opening port 6000) and it fixed the problem.
