Hi.

My friend and I have a weird issue. We have tired to play a game together via Gamespy. And while we can both connect to other peoples games without issue, neither of us seem to be able to host a game - at least not one either of us can connect to.

I am unsure what he has done, but I have opened all relevant ports (per the port post) via Windows Firewall. I have disabled Windows Firewall 100%. I have disabled my AV. Still no luck.

We both connect via DSL, me ATT him a local provider. Neither of us are behind routers. His modem is a USB type, mine is Ethernet. We also cannot seem to direct connect.

Is there something simple I am missing?
 
An addition, it seems that people can both join games that he and I host via Gamespy. It's just odd that I cannot join his game and he cannot join mine.
