NAT negotiation works with your router and connection.

==> You do not have to use port forwarding.

 

 

Let me know if i forgot something...

Maybe i can disable my ports forwarding ?

Thx !

I found the solution !

I just bought a simple USBC-RJ45 adaptateur for my mac.

I think there was a problem with the fact of sharing one connection Wifi for my physic and virtual machine. I don't know why im not a network expert but i saw this trick on other forums and it work perfectly. I've juste tested to connect to an other player in 1v1,so i don't know yet if it will be 100% ok every time.
