  If using DirectX 8 or a later version...

  Connection // Ports for Client Configuration // Ports for Host Configuration
  Initial UDP Connection // 6073 Outbound // 6073 Inbound
  Subsequent UDP Inbound // 2302-2400 // 2302-2400
  Subsequent UDP Outbound // 2302-2400 // 2302-2400

I've read the MS Knowledge base but I still haven't figured out how to open a port up when I don't have MS XP firewall enabled. The problem I have is when I have another computer connected to mine and I don't use a router at all, I can join a multiplayer game in DW but I cannot host a multiplayer game in DW.

Any ideas on this one?
