Anyone have any ideas on why I can't host RTW? I've opened all the ports and joining games works fine, but no one can join when I host.

I have the following ports open:
27750
6515
6500
13139
27900
28900
29900
29901
26220

Any help would be appreciated, as I'd like to be able to host if I am to compete on any of the ladders.

I had this problem also. If you are behind a router running NAT, you also need to set that correctly. You can forward the ports in the router, or go to DMZ mode where the computer is exposed from behind the NAT.
I usualy just go to DMZ mode when I want to host, then take it back when I am done.

These are the ports I set in my firewall:
26220, 6500, 29900, 6515 (TCP&UDP)
13139 (UDP)
It seems to run fine with just these.


alright, thanks.
