That seems like it may be the solution jdc2000,
I just did a search on port forwarding, and found a bunch of stuff, totally out of my expertise, besides a $30.00 program that does it automatically.
I think I have to talk to Cricket about setting up port forwarding, and I'll check on the GameSpy website for information on it there also.

Any input you or anyone can provide would be great!
Thanks to all of you!
Dave
