Have you disabled your firewall I know some ppl that were having that sort of problem and disabling there firewall helped out!

The firewall inside the router is the one im talkin about also if all else fails you could always uninstall and reinstall.......R U logging into NOVA with both of your PC's? The could also be a problem????
Hope this info helps

get the bhd ip joiner, then connect to th enetworked comps's ip, thats how i join for my other games i host on my server works great... ip should be (ona n etowrk) similar to 192.168.2.XXX or 192.168.1.XXX

translate your other computers network ip to a NK or w/e it asks in the pinger, then put that in, for me its 192.168.2.21 ... i can type that in when i play battle field and it lets me join, or on df2 as well..
