Friends cannot join servers that I host. Help Please!

[Gooch]

Hey,

Whenever I try to host a server so that some friends of mine can come play private games, no one can join. I know for a fact that we are all using the same game version, so that isn't the issue. I forwarded port 2302 in my router setup yesterday and it didn't seem to help at all.

I should also mention that I am not running any software firewalls, and my windows firewall is turned off. I use Symantec AV.

Any ideas for what I can try to diagnose and fix this issue?

Thanks in advance for any help.

most routers have a built in firewall so try opening ports 2302 - 2306

That did it, thanks. I only had 2302 open before.

Working now?
If not, do you have a Nvidia motherboard?
Can they see the game in the list?
