Hello again,
Trying to get direct connect working so that I can play links with my son. Does this function still work?
I've tried to port forward, dropping Windows firewall, dropping the firewall on my Netgear Router, putting my computer (host) in DMZ (via Netgear router).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Its been a minute but i seem to remember the #1 problem folks had with Direct Connection was that one or the other or both trying to connect didn't have a static ip setup.

Yes, I remember that issue. Static ip was the key.

In order for me to play direct connection (which I do this 2-3 times a week) I have to unplug the Ethernet cable coming from the computer out of the router/modem and plug it directly into the coax/Ethernet adapter box before the router/modem.
