Routers, Ports, and Timed out servers

Is your router set to DHCP or have you created static IPs for your computers on your network?

I haven't hosted a game in a while but I found out you have to have it on static IP addresses. So...turn off DHCP in your router, assign static IPs to your PCs (192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3 etc) and forward port 12203 on the host computer. There may be some other ports to forward too - I remember part of Bull's posts in the Board Of Developers forum told them.
