I have a 56k modem, and I tried hosting a game and having someone with an ADSL join, but when she did, she could see my game but she couldn't join it.  When I tried joining her ip it said 'could not resolve hostname.'

Heeeelpppp :P.

Twice before on Dungeon Watch I tried to join and failed to join games, each time they were listed as 0.0 -version, I presume,- and 'map not found' the game names were there, though.

If it helps, this is the output when I run winipcfg.exe, then make the window small so it appears only on my toolbar, then right click on it and copy/paste;

Memphis IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter :

IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 63.253.75.34 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . : 255.0.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . : 63.253.75.34

Ethernet adapter :

IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 125.0.0.1 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . :

whenever I run the program the first address listed is the one that I use for games, I have no idea if the other one works or not.  However, when I host a game using dungeon keeper 2, it says my IP address is 125.0.0.1

Could this be because I have a network card?  If so, how can I fix it? And if so, what about my problems JOINING games, both on Dungeon Watch and off it?  And, just so I know I have a correct understanding of DW, when someone hosts a game, it sends out a "I'm Hosting a game of DK1/DK2" to some server, and thus everyone who hosts no matter where they are is listed, right?
