Question Ports...Pings...IPs...what the heck?

Am,yeah,as everybody should know now,I can't play online!
And,yes,I know I have to open some ports!
But how,darnit?
I've heard I could open ports with ZoneAlarm,but the only thing I saw there was changing IPs.
So what Ip do I need?
Or is there an other way?

A few details:
TSF
home-network without router
Win ME (the PC that connects to internet)
Win 98 (the PC I'm playing on)
Internet connection sharing

Anything else?

How are you doing internet connection sharing? (like, what software?)

I would really not recommend using internet connection sharing. Just get a router or something. (If you can live without file sharing, you don't even need a router; just get a network hub\switch)

What kind of internet connection do you have?

And the obvious question...why can't you play JJ2 on the other computer? The one that his pure unfiltered internet?

Just out of curiosity, would installing the same software from the same source on two or more computers that are owned by the same person be considered piracy? I know in some places it is... for example, Norton Antivirus 2002 only allows you to install on two computers. It records un/installations and only allows itself to be installed in two places at once. Is this true for all/most software?

How is that relevant to this topic?

But anyways, it depends what the license agreement says. For example, the version of Microsoft Office 2000 I have is a two-computer license, so it can be installed on two computers at a time, and if an install is attempted on a third computer, it will not be allowed.

But most programs only allow themselves to be used on one computer, with one backup copy made. You can't use both at the same time, nor transfer ownership without also transferring or destroying the backup.
