Civ IV - Multiplayer Game

[Guest LauraBaura]

I'm attempting to do a direct connection to someone for a multiplayer game in

Civ 4. And for the life of me, we can't getthe connection. He's connected to

other people with his computer before, and had others connect to him. And I

am the only one of our circle of friends running Vista. So the problem must

lie on my end.

 

Does anyone know what could be going on here? I tried adding Civ4 and it's

files to the "exceptions" list on the fire wall, I even turned the firewall

off thinking that was the problem. And nada.

 

Thanks for anyhelp you can give.
