Why I can't host in Civ3-PTW?

People see my games and can join the "room" but when I press launch they
never connect. I have a firewall but disabling it still doesn't help (people
see the game even with fw on). So what can be the problem?

PS: All people log from the game (not gamespy) and the pings are usually
below 200.

Ok I think I know the what seems to be the problem but still don't know how
to solve it.
My friend managed to connect to my game when I disabled my network card
(which is responsible for internet in my house - which comes from a modem
connected to my computer via usb).

Still I don't know how to play with my lokal network working too.
