A friend and I are trying to play via TCP/IP. I have port forwarded the correct ports and added the exceptions to the XP firewall but when I host he can't see the game. Can anyone give step by step instructions on how to play using TCP/IP or else link to somewhere that does?
Cheers

When you host, your friend must connect to you via your IP, it wont be listed as a game in the game list afaik.

That's what I thought but where does he type in my IP?
