Online host/join problem

[GaadMasteR]

Hello!

I have a problem with BBGC online hosting and joining. I tried everything: i have a router so i tried port forwarding after that it didn't worked so i disconnected to router so now the computer is directly connected to the internet. I have a firewall: I tried to set it to the correct settings but to be sure i tried exiting also.
So in 1 sentence my computer is directly connected and not using i firewall. And what i see is that S4 starts, i see the maps name, host ip address but the players numbers are 0/x and later i get the message the hosts left the server.
Can somebody help me what should i do??

And when i try to host a message says that port i need to open port 3000 the current address is myip:3105
I had asked it the gamers say they see the game but I'm not sure they can join. I never saw anybody in the game

Thanks for answering but I'm sure you didn't red my post correctly, so again : In 1 sentence my computer is directly connected and not using a firewall.

So these links did not helped...

Presumably you have a modem that connects your pc to the internet. If so, I suggest that you read the manual for it, regarding port forwarding.

If that does not help, then perhaps someone else might come up with a solution to your problem.<div class="ev_tpc_signature">

Well I have ADSL and I don't know about the modems port forwarding, soon i will buy a new HD and i'm thinking about reinstalling windows... I will see then. I thinking maybe the wins firewall is the guilty but i can't open it's settings because win says: "Unexpected error".

Thanks anyway

If your using XP then the Firewall on it is the culprit,S4 wont play with it enabled unless you know how to configure it.If you have a personal Firewall,you also need to allow S4 all access.<div class="ev_tpc_signature">
