When I create a host nobody can join. I've tried to change IP from 192.168.1.1. but I don't have admin password.
How can I host then?

If you have no way of regedit'ing, you can't host.

I'm sorry for double-posting, but my psp net is slow and I can't use my pc yet.
What do I have to do if I manage to get the password, so I could host?

You would:

1) Set up a static internal IP address
2) Forward port 17011 on your router to that IP (see http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm , select your router model then for the game select "Worms Armageddon" (it uses the same port))
3) In WWP configuration, type in your EXTERNAL IP (found from www.whatismyip.com )
4) This is the tricky bit: Open regedit via start --> run --> type regedit --> OK, then in the dir tree on the left browse to: 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team17SoftwareLTD\Worm sWorldParty\NetSettings'. Then, on the right find AddressOverride and change the value of it from 0 to 1.

Now, if all went well you should be able to host.

yes, but make it so it does not change each time you log onto windows.

I can't find router :(

Hehehe sorry but i found that funny xD.

Let me help a bit, router splits your connection into few sources. If you have only one PC/notebook connected to your internet, you don't have router in home for sure.

Hi!

I have ip starting with 192.168, so it won't let me host.
The procedures posted here- they say to change only the last digit, but its clearly said in FAQ here that with IP starting by 192.168, it wont let me host.

Is there anything I can do to still host?

Change the whole IP to the one you find on www.whatismyip.com. Make sure you are also forwarding ports and making the relevant registry changes.
