He enters your IP address once you have the game up and running on your computer. If you're using a firewall, you may have to set it for Port Forwarding and make sure he gets your "outside" IP. Check the manual for your Firewall if this is the case.

No. Your computer is the server. You have to start the game and give your buddy your IP. If you're using a firewall, you may have to set it for Port Forwarding and make sure he gets your "outside" IP. Check the manual for your Firewall if this is the case.

I think you get another Ip with a router and wonder if that causes problem for playing MP´s
It just says "connecting player" for a very long time nd dont connect user.

Yes, my bad. Above in my posts, replace the word Firewall with the word Router. What was I drinking that day?
