Just a quick help post for if you ever are having trouble hosting a game. Sometimes this can be due to a router having the ports that game accesses closed off by default. To make said ports open, go to www.portforward.com. On the top left is a link that says "Router List", click that and it will take you either to an ad (close out of it to get to next screen) or a screen which you can scroll down to find your router on a list of dozens and dozens. Once you select your router from the list, it will bring up a list of games, as old as Warcraft II, and as new as Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Once you select the game, it gives you a step by step text and visual guide on the game's ports used, and how to open those ports. Should take you 5-10 minutes to make this change. It also has guides for XBOX and PS3 games on that list of games. You can also drop a cool 30 bucks there for their program that automatically does it for you if you are that lazy, too. I've been using this since having trouble hosting Battle.net games for Warcraft III in 2002, so it gets my seal of approval: (~};]
