Hi Beau,

I'm glad you're both able to play each other over the Internet.
The majority of people who post here cannot get their games
to work at all, so you're miles ahead of them. :-) When you
try to connect via direct IP, what is the first part of the IP #?
(i.e.: Does it begin with 192., or 10., or something else?). :-)
