if you can join the chan chans, there is a 100% chance that you can join other people's games.

have you tried checking the "old connection mode" box in the network part of the "options" menu in the game ??

also, what type of DSL modem do you have ?? most DLS modems today have a router built into them... do you use a PPOE dialer to get online ?? or is the internet connection just "on" when you plug your computer into the modem ??

if it's the latter, then definitely the modem has a DHCP enabled on it, thus, is it probably doing routing, thus, you can't host any games unless you figure out a way to forward port 1626 on the modem to the internet ip of your computer ... the other option is to set the modem to "bridged mode", and using a PPOE dialer in windows (which would assign an external ip to your computer)

if you need more help, find me online or email me... (as you can see i'm not as active on the forum as i used to be)
