hmmm

ok my friend was online earlier and we wanted a game.

i made sure that the ports were open for my ip.

i hosted, he couldn't join. he could see my room but that was all

he tried to join it but it just updated the lobby list everytime he did, so...
he decided to host...
i could join his game with ease, but...
my bro (another person on the LAN) said he wanted to play as well...
me and my m8 were in the room he created, my bro could't join. I thought this was because the ports were only open for me, i went into the options and made him a new list with the same ports open but pointing to his ip. meaning both computers had these ports open..

he still couldn't join.

but when i host, my bro can join thru the Lan, but my m8 at his house can't..

is there any way we can solve this?
