Hello everyone,
Yes I know the issues concerning the hosting problems have already been addressed. But the problem is that I can't host even when I use WormNat2 (I have 56k Modem so I can't open any port).
When I try to host a party, wherever I'm, the game is blocked for a few seconds (but not the chat) before hosting. And finally when I enter the game, my name is red and apparently impossible to join.
I dunno what is the problem, but thanks in advance for helping..

1) Having dial-up usually has nothing to do with which ports you can "open" (it usually just means you have a dynamic IP address)
2) WormNAT2 was created specifically for people who can't forward a port to their computer. "open a port" is very ambiguous - if the range of ports your computer can make outgoing connections to is restricted (this is common for school/workplace networks but rare with home connections), there really isn't much you can do except tunnel W:A through a proxy hosted on an allowed port. (But if this was the case, you'd most likely not be able to join games at all.)
By the description of your problem it sounds like your computer can't access the WormNAT2 proxy server. Can you access websites hosted on that server such as WKB (http://worms2d.info/), WMDB (http://wmdb.org/), WormTube (http://wormtube.worms2d.info/) etc.? If not, contact your ISP and complain that you can't access those websites.
