My friends and I have been having a terrible time trying to get 3 of us playing a network game. We can never seem to get the three of us together. We've tried taking turns hosting the game, and we can only get two people together, the 3rd person always times out when "receiving host data" or whatever that mode is. The host can see that the person is trying to connect, but never does. It worked once and only once when we first tried it. The next night, we could not get connected. Has anyone had any trouble networking? I should mention that two of us are using dialup to our ISP, and the third person has ISDN connection to same ISP. The frustrating thing is that it actually worked fine the first time we tried it, and now it won't. help? Thanks! -Phil remove the "spam" to get the email address
