I cant host games... Im not sure why. Ive tried opening ports, changing them and so on, but it just doesnt work... Could someone maybe help me with this? I mean, get detailed, but I need to be able to understand. DO I need to use tcp or udp and so on...

Im on Win XP

Thanks to anyone that helps

r u getting ur internet from a router? it it's a linkseys or something like that, it has a firewall right in there. u need to configure it so it allows oncomeing ports. that's usually wat keeps people from joining the game, or at least that's how it works on warcraft

wrong.Don't disable the firewall on the router.Go to your router.To do that go to youtr internet explorer and type your ip adreess into the bar at the top.Then it will ask you for password choose *admin* or sometimes just cklick ok.Then go to security sometimes gaming or search around for dmz.Go to it enable it and insert your ip adress and voila you can host.

You should try not hosting for 2 or 3 days. Do 3 to be safe. Then once you haven't tried to host for 3 days then go and create a game you should have people joining in 5 secs.
