Cannot get direct ip-connection to work???

[Bertelsen]

Hi

My brother and I play Civ4 multiplayer online by direct ip-connection, but when we try the same with Civ4 Colonisation, then we cannot get connection - it just times out????

Is this a bug in the game or what?

Turn firewalls off, including Windows firewall.

I use direct-IP all the time.
