To get the most out of hosting a server, you need to buy one. Maybe ask around.

If you just want to locally host, you most likely had to fiddle around with buckets off stuff like firewalls ect.

 

[Neil Gault]

forward these ports through your firewall
TCP+UDP 48942 - 48957 and UDP 48958-48973

Sorry like i said very new to all of this.
I can join a open room with no problems and have had my first few races. But i cant host a room like i did on my 360 and then people can join my room/looby? Is this right i need a server to host a open room so anybody can jump in

if you have a router and/or firewall you need to forward the ports Neil posted then ppl will be able to join your room
but dont think you can host a full grid of 25 ppl depends on your Linespeed for how many ppl you can host
