Hey Terry,
Firstoff, LOOOOVE the dithered look of the game its gorgeous, and ive been waiting a long time to play this.
Windows firewall is off, and I've tried connecting to my friends' Mac as a server, and then vice versa. but no luck so far connecting

When I enter the IP address and click 'connect as client' there is no response at all from the computer, or any sign whatsoever that it is pending. And just to confirm, the host computer has no problem at all starting as the host...
Should playing via ethernet cable be any easier.. to try this, do we need to use a different IP / port address??
Thanks man.
Rob.
