hi, I had a problem with dungeon siege a while back, dungeon siege on my pc
wouldn't talk to my wife's, I discovered that I was running an earlier
version of the game which I updated over the internet. Both installations
need to be running the same version to talk to each other it could be thats
the problem you're having. Hope this helps
cheers

I had simular problems. First I had to disable the Norton AV, then loosen up
fire walls in X P and the Routers.

Hope this helps

Hi m8, if its not the app then it must be your firewall, you just need to
check that you are allowing both your ip address to talk to each other.

I don't know which firewall you are using so I can't tell you what to do
exactly, but you basically have to make the ip address of both pcs set to
trust each other, if you don't know the ip address then run from a command
window ipconfig.

Hope this helps
Paul

Hi, just a thought, if you diconnect yourselves from the internet and disable
both firewalls(don't want you to get a virus), then try the game, if it works
then its either one or both of the firewalls if it doesn't work then it will
be the application. Just something to try if you haven't tried it
