How to host an online game?

[led00m]

Hi all,

Trying to host a game for some friends of mine but when they try to join they get 'join timed out'.

I tried looking this up and to my understanding I had to open the 34747 TCP port and 34697 and 34597 UDP ports on my computer. I followed this tutorial: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/open-port-windows-firewall#1TC=windows-7

I did all that but my friends are still getting the same errors. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I think you have to do those ports in your router as well
