Hosting Internet Game (non-dedicated)

[Guest]

Hi

I'm having problems hosting an internet game in Unreal Tournament 2004.

I set everything up correctly i.e. check the 'Advertise' box so it should
show up in the 'Internet' list however it doesn't - but it does show up in
the 'LAN' list.

Is there something else I should be doing? My mate can host a game fine
and I can join over the internet.

If its of any relevance, I'm using a Westell 2410 router to connect to the
net.

Cheers

Apparently not.

Are you checking from your LAN? In that case, it's the expected result.
Check from a computer somewhere on the internet.

Have you configured port forwarding?
