PC to MAC synergy HL2 CO-OP possible?

[Opus Fuller]

I started a server on my PC, my friend tried to join it on his mac, we keep getting server not responding.

Is it even possible to play Synergy HL2 co-op between PC and MAC?

Thanks in advance.

Make sure you're using Port Forwarding:

http://synergymod.net/Documents/Configure%20Network%20Settings

- - -

"You're going to have to "forward" (or "open") a single port to your LAN IP address from your router. In our case, you need to forward port 27015 using the "UDP" protocol (not "TCP").
You may use whatever port you wish, provided it is in the approximate range of 27010 to 27030."


"If for some reason that person is unable to find your server, try to give that person your WAN IP address; be sure to append the port number to the address if you're not using UDP port 27015. This address can either be obtained from within your router's web server, your ISP, or by visiting a website such as http://www.whatismyip.com.
Example: 67.121.6.52:27018.
Have that person try to connect directly to the server through the game by using the "connect" (example: "connect 67.121.6.52:27018") command, using the console."

Can anyone give a little bit more of a guide on how to do this?

My buddy and myself opened the port listed above "27015" - We then go into synergy, open the console, and type "connect xxx.xx.xxx.xx:27015 and a progress bar appears, loads up two bars worth of progress and then errors out saying 4 attempts were made. Kind of confused and feel helpless at the moment. Can anyone else chime in please?

Change port protocol to "Both", run your listen server and try checking port 27015 here.

Also make sure the PC thats getting the port is the one your hosting the game on.
start -> run -> cmd -> ipconfig -> ipv4 address
