Hi Folks,
I'm on Cable and my buddy is using DSL, and we're both using PTW (mine came with Conquests, and his is the retail PTW disk) patched to the latest version. When we use the gamespy thing, and either him or me creates a game, neither of us can see our games in the list.
On top of that, if he tries to click "Direct IP" and type in my "real" IP (not the internal one, but the one I got from www.whatismyip.com), it never connects.
We're both using Linksys routers, and I have all the ports forwarded as per the Atari support site - I don't think he did any port forwarding. AFAIK, PTW support upnp though, and hes setup for that.
Does anyone have any suggestions why this is happening?
