No, I have problems doing it this way....I can connect to the other computer OK, as I can play unreal, but I cannot connect to the game. I can see the game OK, but when I try connecting it tries about 4 times then disconnects me. Anyone know if you have to verify with WON, over a direct modem to modem connection? I wouldn't think so, but hey this is a computer game with an attitude! Still trying to get it to work!!
