  Hi I've been trying to test this peer to peer with another player, and it doesnt work on my end, when he's hosting and I try to jioin, it just hangs at waiting for players, and i dont join. And when I host, the screen goes to the one saying "Lo wang is waiting for players" and nothing happens, the other player can't join. Why is that?

  Player1
  C:\JFSW\Sw.exe -name NickName /net /n1 Player2_IP_Address
  
  Player2
  C:\JFSW\Sw.exe -name NickName /net Player1_IP_Address /n1
  
  Once contact is made Player1 must select the Menu, map etc while the other just sits and waits.

  still no work

  I typed the commands for hosting and joining that you specified ProAsm, and still, when i type the command for hosting it goes to the "Lo Wang is waiting for players..." screen and nothing happens and to close it i have to type ctrl-alt-del. And when i type the command for joining it hangs at Waiting for players... Any ideas, I wanna play this game!

  hangs at waiting when joining

  You 100% sure you have the IP addresses correct.
  Using Alt+Ctrl+Del is normal for escaping out of thiese situations :)
