How to host games with DSL?

[-Exi|e-]

First off, i love Rogue Spear: Black Thorn. Before i had XP, i could host some games but in order to do so i would have to go in the game's menu and choose my ip adress (i have a dynamic ip) from 2 choices, 169.xxx.xx.xx or 64.230.xx.xx, now the ip that lets me host games is the 64.230.xx.xx one. I do have a firewall installed on my system (McAffee) it works absolutly great but that might just be the problem. Now when i go in the game menu i can only choose the 169.xx.xx.xx ip hence ppl cant connect to my game. I tried disabling the firewall so that it will allow all traffic but that doesnt work. It worked before when i could choose the 64.230.xx.xx ip and ppl could connect and all was fine, but now its just annoying, when theres no good game around and you want to host one but you cant. There is one game and one site that will let me host a game because it asks me if i want to use my external or my internal ip adress, UBI.com will let me do it and so does the game Ghost Recon(<--- still doesnt work). Is there a program out there that will let me get by this silly problem? or maybe something i can do?

If your firewall is ZoneAlarm, understand that if you disable ZA it completely blocks your internet connection. The only way to actually disable ZA is to uninstall it. If you have probs w/ ZA dont disable it, lower the security level on it.

Im not using zone alarm, im using McAffee Firewall.

mcffee may do the same thing if you disable it

try putting the security level really low
