But, sadly, we have never managed to establish connection. We get as far as to invite each other, accept the invite, and start the game, but then it seems as if the client does not find the server. As I understand it, no settings are required since ICQ should manage that part automatically, but, clearly, it doesn't. What are we doing wrong? If anyone has succeded in doing this, please tell me how you did! I will be infinitely grateful! Johan.
