you need to DL a 3rd party program called Hamachi and set up a network with your PC and that of your friend. Hamachi is free and setting up the network is quick and easy. Now, when you're hosting a game, make sure your friend types in the IP adress that you have in the hamachi network, sort of a virtual IP i guess. Browse the threads in this multiplayer forums, there are some pretty good explanations on how to do this.
edit: also, you need to create 2 extra files in your /movies folder, also explained thoroughly on this forum. too lazy to get the link tho...
@Lobo
Ignore the 3rd party program. You or your friend needs to be hosting the game. Connect to the host via IP address (Your's or your friends).
http://findports.com/document.php?tag=baldurs-gate - Ports for the game. Make sure you add them to your router/firewall if you have one for playing the game. That includes the windows firewall. Add 47630 port as well. All TCP/UDP.
If it is a router, Do you know the brand name of your router?
Look for it in the list provided by the link and follow it.

Look on that page for your d-link model.
Of course I had to allow the game through firewall, but duh, that's just logical. Must be my ultimate gamer setup.
This Enhanced Edition is literally almost a direct port of the old Baldurs gate with the exception of the game fixes.
When I added 47630 the first time...my game crashed. When I found the other ports that I posted in the link above...someone from Australia connected to me. Stick with what works.
