I've set up a few games and never had any problems. Are you or your friend behind a router?

Would help to know exactly where the problem is. I use to play that game and I was able to host my own games plenty of times although IMO, your better off just finding a dedicated server online and playing there as that game is a major resource hog.

If you have a firewall, that will often allow you to JOIN a game, but no one can find you if you try to HOST it.

Yes i do have a router.I try to make the game it appears to be working but nobody can find me.

Your router also has a firewall. Someone else will have to tell you how to get around it. I believe you have to assign a port number to allow other players to find you, but I don't know how to do that. If you have done the SP2 upgrade from MS, you might need to turn off the newly installed firewall there, also.

Wow I think I would need a step by step to make this work

I just did a quick check in 'control panel' to tell you where to turn off the MS firewall that installed with SP2, and I can't find it. Several members on this site had problems accessing other sites because of that, and had to turn it off. I turned mine off, but now I've forgotten where.
It's most likely the router firewall that's causing your problem, and I'm also waiting for someone with the info to turn it off.
I can join, but no one can find me other than my neighbor when I host, but we share the LAN.

Thanx for looking into it for me.
