Ok I can connect to other ppls hosted games, for example I was playing against an American dude the other night with no problems...

Today I just wanted to host a game with my mate and I, but for some reason everytime he tries to connect to the room I host it just counts down from 40 to 0 and his connection times out. Then I got him to host a room and the same thing happened when I tried to connect to his room...

What the hell is up with this crap, why make a game so dam difficult to host??

And whats this hosting buddy thing i hear about??

Please help, I just bought 2 copies of this game the Orginal CD (not trymedia) and have been updated with the latest patches both on my PC and my mates PC...let me know what info/setup you need me to post in order for you to check my settings for ingame network settings and router...

The game isn't difficult to host, it's just your network blocking incoming connections on port 17011

You might need to put stuff in the config screen too
