TCP/IP play after setting up a home network

Hey gang,

Not sure if anyone can help me here but figure it's worth a try. To start:

1.5 P4 / W 850 chipset

ATI all in wonder Raedon 32

512 RAM

Had no problem playing when this was the only computer. I put in a LAN card and hooked up a second comp, through a switch and have been unable to host a game since?? I can join someone elses but not host. I do run a Zone Alarm Pro firewall on the main comp. that I beleive I have set-up properly giving CM server and local access. Any idea's out there? Thx much

Hey gents,

Thanks for the prompt reply guys. I have tracked it down actually. Turns out I did not have Zone Alarm configured properly to give each computer their respective IP's.

To answer your questions though Schrul, yes I had Zone Alarm before and used the IP the game gave me with no problems. The game now gives me two IP's but I did not have ZA set up to direct the right one properly. The main computer is hooked up directly to the cable modem and acts as a gateway for the second, which is hooked up to it via a switch.

Appreciate your help:)
