I have a home LAN, with an ADSL modem/router as the gateway, so my ISP only gives me one IP address, and the rest is done on the LAN. Is there an easy way I can setup a TCP/IP game?

Yes, should be easy. Set your router to forward traffic on port xxxx (whatever port you tell dominions to use when you set up the game) to computer 192.168.y.z (the host). Give players the IP address of your router and the port and you are good to go.

I was going to report a failure, but then I read your edit below...

Edited to clarify- local clients must use the hosts LAN address (192.168.y.z), remote clients must use the router's address.

Oh. Since I did all my testing from the LAN, no wonder it didn't work. I'll test this from work. Hey, if it works, I could even start hosting... (keeping the PC up 24/7 might be a problem, though )
