Jazz 2 and ICS

[Xtreem]

I now have my owne pc which connects to the net via the famly pc's internet connection (cable modem)

I can join jazz 2 games with no problem but i want to be able to host JJ2 games aswell, i have been reading through JCF and i understand i need to foward certain ports to my computer but i dont know how to do this.

The pc's are linked using ICS and both have windows xp pro on them.#
I am using 2 eathernet cards and a crossover cable to link them, i dont have a hub or anything.

Can anyone help me out with this?

thnx :)

Have you disabled the XP firewall?

Yeah, the XP firewall doesn't seem to effect anything JJ2 related. I can also leave it on, no problems.

You've been having problems?

So if you disable the firewall in XP, people can join your server?
