hum unsure about the file ya mentioned but yes it helps to enter N/W to play if you host . then he should enter N/W public servers and look for your server name . after the login process he hits the N/W public gm link and that lobby will open up. then just look for your server name that easy

we're playing c-4, when we go through nova world, it's just downright slow...and espescially unfair to my friend since he is using dial-up, when I'm using cable.I just thought maybe someone had come up with a little utility to allow direct input of the ip address into the found hosts list.It seems stupid I know, but I just crush him due to his lag, and it does seem to skip around alot for me too.Was hoping to cut out the middle-man.Thanks anyways
