Hey guys :)

So my friend and I are wanting to play some of our old games together like we used to. Anoying thing is that it seems our routers or something dont like talking to each other >.< joining third party servers work a treat, like it did befroe my friend got a new router, but not on some games where you have to host them yourself. (examples of games that dont work; Company of Heroes and Empire Total War)

I'm sorry I cant give you more techinal information - we dont even know what his router's called. Although it does have its own firewall if that helps.

We've tried everything and even turned off all our firewalls but had no luck, so is there anyone who knows of any obvious fixes that we've missed? If not know of any way to get around it??

Thanks :D

Find out what ports the games use and open them.

Google is your friend for how to do both of those.

We can connect on those games if theres another player hosting - could that still mean theres a problem with the ports?
