Hi All,
I turned on the fire walls on both PCs and enabled the ports for this game. We still cannot play together. We can both host games that other people join from the net. But we cannot join each others rooms. If someone on the net other than us creates a room, we can both join that room with no problem. It is both PCs that have this problem, not one or the other.
Thanks for all of your help so far.
