Trouble with startnetgame

I want to use StartNetGame instead of BlitzPlay or other network libraries mainly because things like BlitzPlay allow only 1 game going at a time(as far as I know). But When I use StartNetGame the other computer wont get the game that ive hosted on the first computer! How do you get two computers communicating with StartNetGame?

It seems there ain't a big lot of people using it. Maybe because it is relative slow and not very flexible. As far as I remember startNetGame should work ok (within its purpose). Maybe your firewall settings have blocked it?

The Firewall wasn't blocking it... I tryed using BlitzPlay again but it didnt work for my game... Now that I think of it StartNetGame wont work either...

The dialog suggests to leave the host's ip empty, but it should be entered.
