Default Re: Clairfying multiplayer
PBW really is the best way to do multiplayer... TCP/IP is very fickle. It will work if noone is behind a router, or if you use hackery like Hamachi to create a virtual LAN to fool SE5. For whatever reason, the game's TCP/IP code has trouble with ports forwarded through routers.
