Why cant this work? I have installed that game with civ 3 patched it up and I have done every single sing that it recommends me to do and no one can join my LAN game. It has a 150 second bar and counts down to 0... and then it quits the game. What should I do?

Sorry, I don't play MP. But you might find some help in the Multiplayer & PBEM (http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=87) subforum. There are a couple of threads there about problems with MP.

Do you have a firewall? If you do, try letting PTW have access to the internet. Turning it off could help - try it and see what happens.

You mean try letting PTW have access, right?
