If you ONLY hvae a firewall, you can click "old connection mode" in options. Then you could host.

The bad news is.....if you have a router. Then there's NO CHANCE you can host. Only when you get rid of the router, you'll be able to host.

you have your theories wrong....if you have a software firewall you CAN host with no problems and you DON'T need to enable old connection mode...but if you have a Hardware firewall aka a router you CAN'T host...

about the whole sprint and router...um chances are you Modem is both being it has a built in PPoPE client in it making it so you don't have to create a manuel connection and once you turn your comp on your ONLINE already just like my modem :biggrin:

that is really not a router...the comp might say it detected a "router" when you hooked it up but it's jsut really a modem with some function like a router to allow you to be connected 24/7 with the SAME ip until you reset or kill the power to the modem.
