Sigh, well it gave me the error again. I will have to figure out a new way to connect tomorrow. I will PM you if I can think of anything. Who knew buying this game would require a computer network engineering degree? Haha.
Edit: Pinny, I was actually just trying that method. Followed the directions word for word.
I do have a local friend who I run to when I have issues like this. He has very good internet. i will try to get a hold of him.
