Could someone give me some step by step instructions for internet play. I've played once before but this time my friend and I could not connect up.

Specifically, please give some steps for hosting and then joining.

1. Select Host LAN
2. Select scenario
3. Proceed
a) What to put into Host Name Field? (my IP address?)
b) Game Name? keep as FPG?
c) Player Name? just my name?

Also when trying to join a game, what does one put into the search field, or if leaving blank, what do you place in the new search box?

thanks for your help. We were able to figure it out a couple of months ago but this time we got stumped. (we should have made notes!)

thanks,
Jeff

Anyone have an answer to this?  I know it sounds stupid, and I was able to run it before, but we tried everything we could think of and could not connect up for a game.  I'm sure that we are just missing something simple.
 
thanks in advance!
