my friend and i cant figure out why, but for some reason he cannot connect to me when i host a game, but i can connect to him
he is using dialup, i have dsl, with a router.
i forwarded ports 2302 and 2303 in both udp and tcp, and i have 2302 and 2303 forwarded in zonealarm pro, in exactly the same way as my friend. but, for some reason, he cannot connect to me, but i can connect to him. i have my router's firewall off.
also, whenever my friend tries to join my game, zonealarm doesnt log it, meaning that the connection was never made.
i know that it is possible to host a game behind a router, so i would like any help i can get
EDIT:
we were trying to join over direct ip, if that makes a difference. he did get a ping response from my router, so he can connect to it, but for some reason it wont connect to my game
