Hi, I just set up myth 2 (1.5) on two of my computers in my home and am trying to host a game to play with my wife. I got cable comeing in and have it hooked into my router (Linksys) and then into our main computer (hosting game) and by wireless into our laptop. I tryed to host and join her computer to the game yet got something about a firewall preventing her to join.
I've read as many topics from the forums yet just get more confused. :( About NAT, forwarding 3453, ect.... I have no idea how to do any of these or specify any settings for my router and/or modum.... heck.. I don't even know how to find my IP address.
I know I'm kind of a lost cause but if you have time can you help walk through and explain how to get this to work.

Okay I got the models but now I'm too dumb to do anything with 'em

I'm not sure what model of linksys router you have. But you can get some decent info on opening ports on various linksys routers here

Good luck.

I'm on a D-Link and have just spent two days trying to fix this. I'm not sure if I did it properly, but I went to open port 3453 and still no dice. Quite odd, I can play when other people host quiet well.
