I've done everything every site and fellow worms armageddon player has told me, but still I can't host any games. I can play others on wormnet but nothing else. Someone help please

Do you have: A) A router
AND/OR B) A Firewall.

If so, view the guide on www.nanacide.com/wahelp

Hi, I'm trying to play over a network with my brother. One computer uses
windows 98 the other windows xp home edition. When the multi-player game
starts (no matter who's hosting) the computer with xp, those worms start
waving the "white flag" and the game just ends. Any idea why this is
happening?

I've seached the forumes and here, the link below, and I still can't figure
out what's wrong?
