Sorry, I'm not a tech person and don't really like TCP/IP (only used it once, and with a different game).

I do know that things get a bit tricky if either of you uses a router - the other player has to enter your router's IP address, not your computer's, and the router has to be configured to pass on stuff from his address (normally it would block that kind of connection by default, for security reasons). The details will be router-specific. If that's your problem you should be able to find out something by searching on the internet. Good luck!
