me and my brother are tryin to get a game going over our network, which consists of 2 computers connecting to a router/switch.

anyway, he hosts a game, i see him in the game lobby, and try and join and after a few seconds it says "connection timed out", this also happens on direct connect.

both games are updated to 1.7 and have different serial keys etc. any ideas on what to do?
