Thanks Michael and Dan for your input. Unfortunately, I have no idea what
you said. :) Okay, I understand a bit of it, but I don't know what to do
to get my PC communicating with another via TCP/IP, especially when they
are each possibly behind a router/firewall. I know that I could
probably play Unreal Tournament on this PC and get a connection to some
outside server out there, but I don't know how to do it with EUPHORIA.

The configuration of the connection is this:

UserPC <-> Router/Firewall <-> Internet <-> MyRouter <-> MyPC

I hope I'm clear on what I need! :)
