  I have exported the Multiplayer Chat Example to ishoo.co.uk/GameTest

  When I join as the host, then from the same PC, join the same room as a peer it all seems to work fine. I can send messages from host to peer and back.

  But, when I join the same room as a peer using a different PC on a different router and ip address the new peer gets kicked after a few seconds.

  Am I right in thinking that this should work OK? Do I need to set up something somewhere?

  Thanks, Jim

  Is there a tutorial for using CS3 to make a simple, turn-based, two player game played over the internet? Something that would work with a game like chess for example?

  I looked at the first part of the multiplayer tutorial, but that seems to be aimed at action games where every millisecond counts. It seems a bit over-complicated for what I need.

  I am looking for something simpler if possible. It could be peer to peer or hosted on a server.

  Grateful for any help!

  Thanks, Jim

  Got it!

  I had inadvertently ticked the "Unbounded scrolling" box.

  Just started the tutorial and I am very impressed so far.

  When I preview my work I get a white bar at the top of the window. Screenshot attached.

  What have I done wrong?

  Thanks, Jim
