stanhope 411 Posted April 21, 2019 That's because you haven't actually port forwarded those ports. You need to either get into your router or a webpage that your ISP offers to open those ports. As I don't know who your ISP is or what router you're using you'll have to figure that one out yourself. I can tell you that you have to port forward the range of ports between 2302-2306 (both included) for UDP traffic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunter Severloh 4062 Posted April 22, 2019 Here are alternatives you can use, these are programs that you and your friend can download and setup, it will allow either of you to connect to each other's game through lan, it basically creates a network that you can join, you dont need to worry about ports, program does it for you. I would have added Tunngle to the list but it cant be found anymore something i used myself for a little bit before i rented a gameserver.
