Sounds like an interesting setup.  I was going to suggest a dial up
connection so that you can get a fixed IP.  However, if you have a W2K
server that is connected to the internet, you would already have a fixed IP.
If you had a fixed IP, you wouldn't have a problem.  I am guessing that you
have a W2K or WXP workstation acting as a server.  I don't think you can go
through ICS to get the client's address on the other side since the address
is translated at the servers.

You can also play your games on the server.  That may still not work for the
long run since the address you got from the ISP may have come from a DHCP
server.  You would have to do Ipconfig each time you reboot your machine.

Don't know how your game works but can you play it through a common server
like ICQ etc.?

Well I have a Set IP on the server(both running xp) both network and a
automaticaly assign IP for the internet but ill I have for my connected pc
is my IP only for my network address.

There's no chance of being able to play the games on the servers as there
just basic machines.

The only way we have of being able to connect is via the servers but I have
no IP to beable to direct connect to, the same go for my friend.

Any Ideas?

You need to do a bit of research to get this to work.  Port forwarding the
ports Generals uses to the IP of the machine you are playing on is the first
step.  Unless you login to the online portion of Generals and make a game
that way, I bet the only way to get your setup to work is to setup VPN.  If
you can get VPN to work between the two networks and your friend is able to
ping IP addresses within your network, you should be able to make a LAN
game.  Good luck.
