IP game help.

[BigBear]

I am trying to get a game to work between my brother and I who are about 60 miles apart. I disabled the firewall on both computers and yet when I go to host an internet game he cannot find a game on the IP the game provides.

Given this is 192.168.1.101, a mask IP for my ISP, I tried using an alternative IP, with no luck.

I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Are you going through a router?
If so, you may have to open the port for com.
Did you try having him host the game?

Yes, we tried both ways, and yes, we are both going through a router. How exactly do I designate a port to go through?
