Ive played sp a few times a couple of years ago im back to it today.But the problem is i cant connect to my friends ip.I tried to connect to the ip he was given thru his game.And he tried what the game said was my ip.We cant connect still our games run fine and we have the latest release and patches.

check to see if you have firewalls up
with all the new security stuff in windows, the firewalls can sometimes block online game connections

Alby's probably right... Firewalls can prevent communication in SPWAW games.

neither of us have firewall on and i have a built in router :S is it possible to talk to someone on msn or teamspeak about this?

My friend and I play online each week.  Everything worked fine until I went wireless.  Then we were blocked.  (It seems to me that his machine could find find the IP of my modem, but become "confused" when it tried to get past my router and wireless access point.)  The work-around we use is for me to bypass the wireless and "hardwire" into the modem.  That does the trick for us.
 
(By the way, we also use "Roger Wilco" to permit us to talk to each other during play.)
 
Good luck!
