Well I need some help setting up a LAN game.

I have both computers connected through a linksys router. Both computers are running WinXP (one home, one pro). I have opened up port 6112 in the router for both computers. There is no firewall on either computer.

The problem is that I can't get the two comps to see each other. On the first computer I go to the LAN option on the initial screen, then I create a game. I go to the second computer but when I click on the LAN option on the initial menu I don't see the game I created on the other computer. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some setting I forgot about? Can someone walk me through the steps of setting up a LAN game.

BTW battle.net does work for both computers so I am able to do some muliplayer gaming, just not LAN gaming. Please help.
