Ok, I am just wondering if you can host a game without doing anything "fancy" to the router. I understand that most people with v14 no longer have to port forward.. All I'm wondering is if I can start a game, and other people will be able to join via internet. Thanks. :)

----A: Have UPnP enabled on your router.  There is often a simple radio button for this on your router configuration page.

-OR-

B: Have a router that does not randomize UDP origin ports.

If you do not have UPnP your server's ping will show up as "---".  In this case if your router is non-randomizing your server will still be join-able.

So if your router does not have UPnP, you have to do port forwarding manually.
