championship manager 03/04 online as a host in X.P

I upgraded to windows X.P from M.E and since then can no longer host online CM 03/04 games to the clan I have. I can join games hosted by other people through an ip address they send me but they cannot join my games after I send them an ip address.

They recieve an " unable to connect to server " message, " make sure a network cable is not unplugged " etc.

I use AOL broadband and an exterior bt voyager modem rather than the built in PC modem, on my network connectios options it shows no lan connection ( cable unplugged ) and I wondered if this was the problem and if there is a way of adjusting these settings or some other way to be able to host these online games.
It has always been possible with windows 95, 98, M.E to host off my pc online, just not this pc with X.P and X.P is the only differance.

anyone help ?
 
Hi Moli,

Consult your motherboard manual, or the computer's tech support number
if applicable to find out how to disable your onboard (built-in) "PC modem".
That should at least clear up the "unplugged cable" issue you're having, and
may also change the priority of your main connection and as a result, correct
the connection you've reported as well. :-)
