Can't start new game...

Ok I've been having troubles starting a new game, when I trie to start a new game and have someone I know join it gives that error with 3 reasons why this happened. I switched over from 56k modem to dsl a couple months ago and I can't have anyone join my game. Can someone help me out?

Are you running a firewall that prevents people from joining? Does your game appear on the tracker?

Nope no firewall or any other protection, and yes I do see it on the tracker.

A. Make sure that u are on Internet Broadcast search or whatever you need

B. Make sure that the server port is set to whatever, example 62204, and yours is 0, even if you start it. Make sure that the friend has his port on the server machine to 62204 and have his UDP port on his on either 0, or another 5 digit number. Try 0 first.

Hope this works, it was up to me to set-up the network of 30 computers on a network to play WinBolo and to transfer files and stuff. This made it work.
