Hi there, 1st post here 
Only recently been introduced to Civ 4, and found it great fun
Anyway, my problem lies when trying to connect to my friends IP, to join his Direct IP game.
I have 2 computers through a router, both have same permissions as far as im aware.
1 Computer (the GF's) can connect to his IP fine, My PC on the other hand just times out when connecting.
Ive tried disconecting my GF's computer and just connecting on mine, but to no avail.
Im wondering if theres any setting on my router or network settings not allowing me to connect.
Also, she cannot connect to my Direct IP game if I host on my pc (ip:192.168.1.2) but I can connect if she hosts on her pc (192.168.1.4), but LAN games are fine.
