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?

i can only foward the ports needed to host a server to another pc when the firewall is on... or is there another way

ah ive worked it out, i fowarded both the ports in TCP and UDP and now people can join my server evan if the xp firewall is on or off.

thnx for the help

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

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