Games over a shared internet connection

by gstratton . Updated 21 years, 3 months ago

Hi Everyone,
Hope someone can shed some light on this cause it’s done my head in.

I have a PC at home that is connected to my Friends PC via lan which has the internet on it. So basically I share the internet. I am in Australia and it is cable internet. When I try to netmeet or remote assistance or even play games over the internet, I cannot connect to any servers or even a pc that I am trying to fix.
I understand that I have a local IP 192.168.0.69 and am not connected directly to the net, but I used to be able to play games etc through this set up.
We are both running Symantec Client firewall but have allowed the subnet 192.168.0.1 – 254 through and also allowed the applications that we are using. I am on Win XP PRO SP2. Someone please help. 🙂
