Issue: PC players experiencing difficulty connecting to multiplayer games

The host must have these four ports forwarded:

You can find out how to do this at http://www.portforward.com/.

All players need to allow the game in the Windows Firewall, whether you have forwarded ports or not. You can learn more about how to do this here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u…nfirewall.mspx.
