My game works fine.. I go to the worm.net, login etc.. Everything is still fine.. I can take part with any channels and chat with the others.. But when I try to host a game, nobody can play with me.. It says something like connecting and the clock is ticking.. then (after the 40 secs) it says can't find game or something.. And when my friend makes a host the same texts comes for me too.. There are few hosts in which I can join, but the players just gives up.. so what's wrong? Why can't my friend join my host and why can't i join her host? proxys and ips are ok.. is there some kind of easy trick and i'm just doing it wrong? so if anyone could write me a little manual of making the host..? And please tell me if there is something i need to do before i can make those hosts.. Thank you!

you both most likely have a router which meant you need to port forward 17012 to your internal IP if you wish to be able to host.
