well, you dont need to host a game...

Well gee. . . thanks! Yes, I dont "have" to host a game, but then I wont be able to play with my friends, or choose the map.

Like take a bug the crashes your computer every time you try to play a game, well, you dont "have" to play the game. Just dont play it . . .

Please, if you are NOT going to post something helpful, dont post it.

SORRY! but you can invite your friends.

this is a quote from daedalusVSC:

I know many people have had problems with their routers when hosting games. There are many people who can make a game, but not have it show up in lobby. I just recently found the fix for this.

Go into your router properties (usually by typing in 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 in your internet browser). Now look for Block WAN requests and change it to disabled. On the older linksys routers, this is on the filters page, while on the newer linksys routers, this is on the security page. Once blocking WAN requests has been disabled, everyone should be able to see your server in the lobby.

Thanks for the help, I dont have a router, I use a server computer with a firewall as a router for my network, could the firewall or the cable-modem have this set?

Look through your firewall options for a block WAN request option. That is most likely what is causing the problem.
