Hello you must have a router to do this,
Before we start please read this:
If you are going to do this you must give your IP adress out. Giving this to the wrong person can lead to you being hacked. So if you do this i reccomend giving your IP to closest friends OLNY.

Stage 1
Right, firstly we have to find out your routers make so go into the room in your house where your Wirless Router is and look at the model name and make. Write it down and come back.Now go to this page and look for the router name you just wrote down - http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm Click it once found.

Stage 2
This bit is harder so get reddy =]
After you click your router a advertisement will come up, press skip in the top right then a page will come up with thousands of games you can portforward with. we need football manager so look for it. Once you have found it press Football Manager 2006, (It dosent matter what version of FM you have aslong as its newer than 2006.) Now follow the steps on this page. DONT SKIP ANY STEPS

Stage 3
Now you have done this, Hip Hip Hurayy. Go to this link and do this now. We are one step away from hamachi free FM http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm
.

Step 4
go to www.whatsmyip.org and coppy the IP adress from the top. This is the ip you give to your friends to connect to your game without hamachi.


Thats it, hope it worked for you. get someone to test it, and dont give out your ip to everyone as its not safe!!!



Help?

Q: My friends cant connect
A: Turn off your firewall and try again

Q: Still isnt working
A:Make sure windows firewall is turned off in control panel.

Q: Do all my friends have to do this or is it just the host
A: Just the host.

Many Thanks,
Joel :S

So, really not many people on FM-Base can use it? As they only know people off here and may not know them very well.

Good guide none the less.

Thanks
 
Depends if you trust them or not. Or if you give it to a person who you dont trust, Youll know who hacked you ;)

But it will be too late as by then they will have already hacked your pc and maybe done so harm to it.
 
Mhh suppose so. But i know a cupple of lads id trust with mine. Infact i have gave it to a cupple before and i am still here
 
Does it work?

Sooo does this really work on FM 2010???
 
Probably but as Coach Carter said you should only use this method with your close friends
