Default Re: TCP/IP not working

Regarding the error that folks were receiving with the Host showing the Player connections, but the Player getting the "Cannot connect to host server" error.

Has anything more been determined with this in the past 4 months? I'm having the exact same problem.

Both computers are running XP via a Cable Modem. Yes, as far as we can tell.. all firewall's have been taken care of, including the personal firewalls in XP.

One step further.. I (as the Host) hit the "Begin Game" button as soon as I see the connection with the Player. I see "Sending game startup file to players..." message appear, but it never disappears. If I don't hit the "Begin Game" button, the connection will shift from "Connected" to "Quit" after about 5 seconds. If I /do/ hit the button, then it stays "connected" but nothing ever happens beyond that point.

Any suggestions?
