I cant host In Rogue Spear plz help

[Cosmo]

ok heres the deal.
I have a new system, HP 9686C and since I got it 2 months ago it will not let me host in Rogue Spear. I can join and play just fine but it wont let anyone join my games if I host. I get to the launch screen but it wont let anyone into my game.
I tried the zone and my local isp, rr for help...no help provided.
I have lots of money and am willing to keep it all if anyone is willing to help.


ty for your time.

What OS are you using? is ICS, NAT, or a proxy installed on your machine or are u connected through ICS, NAT or proxy?, do you have a firewall installed?
