Please read/search before posting. All of the information needed is provided in my guide "Networking and SINS" linked-to from my sticky at the top of this forum, or bottom of the "Technical FAQ".

Download, read/follow all of the steps in my guide (Networking and SINS, not the other guide) and you'll both be fine to connect to each other.

thanks,

the Monk

I have been playing with my friend for several weeks now and we are having the same problem. We did not change any settings to cause this.
