Actually, TA uses UDP with DirectPlay only I think. I am not positive about
this, but I know that in my case it uses TCP.
Anyhow, I just realized recently that my brother is connected to the net
through a university which has their own firewall which doesn't let most
things through. So, he is going to connect through the same ISP as I am,
tonight. I will request further assistance if I need to.
Thanks for your reply!
