Re: server ploblems
You probably have an error in your port forwarding rule. Also, make sure your router isn't blocking outgoing UDP (set the router's firewall to low or off).

Re: server ploblems
my router firewall as well as my pc firewall is off. how do i find errors in the port forwarding rule?

Re: server ploblems
You just have to double check everything. Make sure you're forwarding the right port to the right computer.

Re: server ploblems
One surefire way to fix connection problems is to get hamachi logmein and have the people who want to ride on your server get it too, they join your group or whatever, then connect with your hamachi ip instead of your computer ip, if that seems too hard, send me a pm and i can help you over teamviewer if you like. (don't know what it is, google it, i dont feel like explaining it)=/
