TFD Issue

[*Striker1~*BA*~]

HI all,

Looking for a little help here with TFD. Myself and MissFire are running 2 PC's connected through a LAN. We are using a Cisco router with a Cisco Pix 501 Firewall.

We have set everything up so that we can host games and others can join, however we are having one problem. If one of us hosts then the other cannot join the same game
We can both join a game that someone else is hosting and even both host at the same time but when it comes to joining each others game it just hangs at "connecting to server". I have been told that it is something to do with the router allowing outside connections but as we are on the same network it wont allow internal connections.

Is there any way around this as we would like to host but would also like to be able to play together.

Thanks

Strike

To get it to work for me, I had to use Lan IPX... or was that C4 ? Anyhoo, IPX was the answer, and that entailed installing some additional protocols.
