Can't Host Anymore

[GenaralSkar]

I could host just a few days ago, but I tried yesterday, and it would not work. I though it was just some random problem and it would work the next day. So I try today, and it still doesn't work. When I open the dedicated.bat it loads like it does any other time I host, but when I try to join my server the ping is ---. I looked into the console and found this
Initializing UPnP...
--------------------
UPnP Discovery Failed
--------------------

How do I fix it?

Port forwarding conflicts UPnP, so you will want to disable port forwarding before hosting again.

Anyway, looks like your DHCP server lease time is up. To adjust this, you will need to go to your router admin page.
Under something like 'Local Network', click 'DHCP Server'.
There will be a few radio buttons, make sure it is set to 'On'.
It should be pre-configured, all you need to do is set your lease time from what it is on, to something higher.

Hopefully this works. DHCP acts all strange once it's lease time is up.
