I'm hoping someone can help me with a firewall problem so that I can join the games...

I opened all the ports listed thread firewall/port forwarding thread. I am able to access the multiplayer console and chat with other players in multi-player mode, however no games appear in the upper half of the screen.

I have been only able so far to play LAN-LAN only if I am not the one hosting the game. :cry:

Any ideas? did I miss a port somewhere?

Yes we had this probably with a LAN at with the new patch,

The guys at the helpdesk told us we needed to open ports on the router etc etc as , if your modem router is older than a few years they will not auto be open, We could not figure out how to do this so i just used a newer wirless router i had in my house for my internet connection.

The problem is probably most def with the router/modem being too old well it was for me.
