Hi Blinkfan2010,

Here's a Microsoft article on that exact subject:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q308127

If you run into any difficulties, I might be able to find another
article with screenshots you can reference if you find that easier. :-)

Hi,

Didn't you ask how to open ports in your firewall?
That article explains how to do it specifically for
gaming purposes. Please help yourself to the info. :-)

i asked how to open ports (i dont kno if that means in my firwall) but that article describes it but the system is totally different to my computer
 
Hi,

You already found the area that you have to be in. :-)

You said that you have a checkmark there on your system...
The rest of the port opening process is done from that same
window by clicking the Settings... button at the bottom of it.
See figure 1 and figure 2 at:
