Author Topic:   How to Play multiplayer over the Internet

I tried to play my first multiplayer game over the internet last night with a friend but had no luck. Here's what we did: connected to my ISP, got my IP address, mailed it to him, started the game, selected host a game, and waited. Whenever he tried to join, it just said game not found. Has anyone had any luck playing over the internet and if so, how?

Make sure you're hosting a tcp/ip game, you both have patch 2.0, and that there isn't a firewall between the two of you.
