Hi I can't launch a pool game I bought at http://www.terragame.com/pool/index_1_sort2.html My home computers connected through broadband ethernet router and seems my computer has one IP and router has another and game cannot find another computer. I'm sure many people might encounter such a problem, please someone help or point me to some online resources:)

I have never used that game but I have some ideas on what to do... first thing, are you trying to connect to an other computer on your LAN, or the World Wide Web? Next, are you connecting to the other computers by typing in a IP adress, or does the game automaticly connect you to the game? By any chance are you using a Firewall? ..if so, is it a hardware firewall or software firewall? Last thing is, What brand is the router you are using? and does the router have a built in firewall?
If you answer these questions maybe i can help you, but i am not sure to do with the information you gave in your first post.
