    connectionproblem

    Can somebody tell me how I can make a connection between two computers over the internet.

    I tried the ping statement.
    The name of my computer is _COMPUT.
    When i try PING _COMPUT on my computer i get an answer.
    But when I try this at another computer i get HOST UNKNOWN.

    Why can't another computer not find mine.

    You can only ping or connect to a computer by it's name if it's on a LAN together. Otherwise you must use its IP like Canders said.
