I finally got MP working but be warned, it's very addictive

In case anyone else has the same problem what I do is turn off nortons firewall but leave on the intrusion detection and evrything else, I also leave on the xp firewall and haven't had to open any ports or mess around with it

I have now been playing for about a week and take my turn of hosting games. When I host I just alt-tab out of the game, switch off norton firewall, host the game and then switch it back on again, nae bother at all.

I just thought I'd post in case anyone else has been having the same trouble. Have fun all
