hello ! it's about the router ... if it is a cheap one with basic NAT, you need to upgrade to a router with enhanced NAT capabilities. Sorry, there is no other solution ...

There probably arent any nearby players. Ask a friend of yours to start a server of the same game you're playing. He should be in the same city atleast. Then see what ping you get. The closer the other players are to you, the lower ping you'll get.\nAlso if you're using wireless internet, or internet with a firewall, then it'll be tough to get it lower(but it is possible)

The easiest way is to setup a network to connect them both to. The standard way to setup a network is to use a router, most networks can easily be setup, once you get a router you will need to configure it so it will function as you want it to, then you will need to connect both computers through the router. This should allow you to share files between the computers as well as share your internet connection.\n\nAnother way to do this works if you have Windows XP or I think Windows 2000 lets you do this too, but that is to share your connection that is going into your main computer. To do this you will need it to have two different network cards, one is your existing one that you use to connect it to your DSL connection, and you will need a second one to connect to the other computer, in this case your laptop. In your Network Connections option in the control panel if you right click the connections one of the options is "Bridge Connection" by clicking this you are able to have the connections shared which should allow the laptop to access the internet connection through your desktop.

you can use multiple computer just one internet connection \n1 - create a local net work  by connecting computers \n2 -  create a connection to inter net in one computer \n3 - find connection sharing  in your connection from conection peoperties \nturn on check box :"alloew other computer to use this connection"\nall connected computer connect to internet via this connection with network \nif your dsl modem working  with rj45 connection you must use two  NIC (networl card) one for dsl modem and other for connecting to other computer

you should be able to do a remote desktop, or use www.gotomypc.com, that is what I use when I travel for business to connect to our server.  Hope this helps

You could always make a VPN between you 2 and it will act as if you were at a LAN and in the same room. Email me if you need more details on how to do this. I run my own game server for CS, CZ and some times BF2 and my friends all have a VPN to me so that its a little easyer for them (we all have adelphia cable internet)

you need to run the applications on the PC you consider as server, give it IP address then tell your DNS that this name map to this IP.\n\nopen ports for "others" that the applications will recieve requests through.\n\ntry to connect from one computer to the server.\n\nHave Fun!
