Did you change your network ports to 2301 and 2304?

In the router, you need to enable DMZ mode (you need the router password).
I host a server, and I just ended up getting a switch. I'm not sure if you know this already, but a router comes equipped with a firewall, as do computers with ServicePack2. You might already know how to turn off Windows Firewall, but I'll tell you just in case.


Start Menu
Control Panel
Security Center
Windows Firewall (at bottom)



If Windows Firewall is on, just follow the little 'windows firewall' link at the bottom, and select "off".

I can't be certain that this is the problem you are encountering, but that would be one of the reasons it would not show up in the Lobby. And as to ports, I use 2300 and 2301

If you already know these things, I apologize for wasting your time...

Change them to 2301 and 2304. Routers have nothing to do with it.

Or at least shouldn't...

Skelito, please lock up this thread, i found the problem. i forwarded the UDP ports 2301 and 2304.
