Are you using a router? If you are, then you'll need this;

Follow the guides there for your specific router, and away you'll go!

It isn't actually a program, the site is just a huge database of guides for your router. They have a Worms Armageddon game entry for all the routers. Have fun!

They do have a program tho, I'm not sure if it gets updated, but last time i looked at there 'free' version it didnt exactly support anywhere near as many routers as they list on there site... probably due to a lot lacking uPnP.
