OK lets start from the beginning.

The router.
You must log onto your router and open the ports 2934-2937 TCP and UDP and Open up the ports 9987-9989 UDP for your computer. I cannot tell you exactly how this is done on your router, You don't need to set a static ip for your computer. You should be able to open ports anyway.

Hosting a MP session.
In Windows 7 you shouldn't have to open the ports in the firewall manually.

1. Open up the BMS Launcher.

2. Start the IVC Server.

3. Start Falcon.

4. Click Comms.

5. Click "New" and give your server a name.

6. Use the IP: 0.0.0.0

7. Set bandwidth. Somwehere between 500-5000 depending on your bandwidth. (We have been very successful with 2000 on host and all clients.)

8. IVC settings. Keep the check-boxes marked and use the IP: 127.0.0.1

9. Click Save.

10. Click Connect.

11. The server is now up and the clients can now connect to your server and IVC with your IP. If you dont know your IP you can find out here:

http://www.moanmyip.com/ (for a more fun experience )

(IMPORTANT: Every client must set a bandwidth or the mp session will fail ingame. I recommend that everyone use the same BW value.)

12. Start the mission/campaign. The clients can now join the MP session and use the IVC for voicecomms.
