Open servers.cfg in your \pol\config directory and make sure the line for IP looks like this:
IP --lan--
Then you have to know what your LAN IP is. You find that out (assuming you are running Windows) by clicking on the "Start" button choosing "Run" and typing cmd in the box. Then once the DOS box has opened type ipconfig and press the <enter> key. You should see something like the following:
yeah me and my brother did do that, but he's computer can seem to log in.

If using a router, make sure it's set up for it also for the ports.
Read up on the servers.cfg in the docs. You can also specify only certain ips that can attach to the server in there! Very hand to keep people off from the net on your local connection section.
GameServer
{
Name POL
IP 192.168.0.100
Port 5003
}
GameServer
{
Name POL-ip
IP poldev
Port 7003
}
thats what i have mine set as

OK I am confused. Based on one of your earlier posts I thought you had set your servers.cfg file to:
Code:
GameServer
{
Name POL
IP --lan--
Port 5003
}
That will cause the server to read your computers IP Address on the LAN and use that to listen for connections. Then all of those on your LAN should use your servers ss in their login.cfg file to access your server. That should allow connections assuming your firewall on the server, if you have a firewall, is allowing the port 5003 to be open.
