All...ANYONE ! I haven't played SPWAW in a couple years. A fiend and I are trying to connect via Cable/DSL and we can't get connected ! When we try to join one or the other receives the message: "Server at that address is not responding"

We both have v 8.4. Is this a firewall problem or what ? Since I know very little about Internet technicalities / security issues / connection issues / I'll leave it to someone out there who would be willing to guide me through getting this squared away.

Help ! !

Check ip number is correct, they do change sometimes.
Definitely turn off your firewall, they wreak havoc with SPWAW connections.

Broadband usually places you behind a firewall, NAT, or the such. Use whatismyip.com to get your true IP address.
