Haven't played this game in a few years. Just installed it, and tried to host a direct ip game, but the other person is unable to connect. Now, I have a Linksys WRT54GL router, and I think this may be the problem.
When in the hosting screen, it displays your IP, and it gave me the internal 192.168.1.x address. So I searched around, and added the command line "+OverrideAddress="ipaddress" +directIPConnectivity" to the shortcut of the game, and now it displays my actual IP as an "alternative address" when in the hosting screen. However, this has not fixed the problem.
This is all the info I can think to give you. If anyone has a possible solution, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I'm using a static IP address. I dunno if that has any effect...
