Civ 3 LAN Problems

Anyone plan Civ 3 on a LAN? If so, maybe you can help. I'm having problems hooking up and playing a simple game. My friend and I both can go into each others shared folders and we can also ping one another fine, but we have not been able to figure out why we can't play a multiplayer game.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Can you play any other multiplayer LAN games? My housemate and I found we needed to get rid of this Zonelabs firewall we were using (and the software was messing up anyway). Got a new friendly one now

We've never played any games before, but my friend knows computers descently well.

Anyhow, we're not using a firewall or switch or even a hub. We're just running Ethernet from one NIC to another. Thats why we don't know why the hell we can't even play a simple game. Doesn't make sense.
