Personally I doubt you'll find one. This is the exact same problem I had except we didn't have XP. Both computers connect through a router and have DMZ activate and I get exactly what you describe. I got to think there is some aditional programming required to get a game to run on TCP/IP through a router that SE4 does not have.

Will I be able to connect to someone without this problem?

It is possible to connect TCP/IP through routers. I do not know why it doesn't work for some people though. It works for me just by forwarding the 2 necessary ports.

Have to try it I think. I have a router and with the DMZ on I could succesfully connect to someone without a router just not with another friend who does connect through a router.

Did the connection fail both ways David? Both with you as host and with him as host?

Yea we tried it both ways. I forget exactly but I think each time the host saw the other players name appear in the player list but then he got an error. I think it was the same error mentioned here. Funny that the host see's the players name appear though.

That indicates that SE4 is able to start a connection to the host, but is unable to maintain it. Usually, the host is configured properly, but the player is not. That has been my experience, anyways.
