My friends can't join my server either and I don't have a firewall on. I am running on Windows XP SP2.

I have a Linksys Wireless-G router. Is there a way to disable the firewall? Or just open the necessary ports. And btw I hosted a game on Halo CE and a person joined but people don't join on PC and my friend can't join.

Start > Control Panel > Network Connections, right click on Local Area Connection and go to properties.

Click the advanced tab, and uncheck the "Protect my computer by preventing or limited access to it though the internet"

hit apply
