Reply: PQ Server Hosting issue?

If you are able to use a UPnP/NAT-PmP port mapper, then make sure you forward port 28000 UDP (if you use TCP it won't work). If that doesn't work you will have to check your router configuration.

So it's pretty easy (in theory) to host a PQ server. click the host button and you're done. but if you want to play with other human beings outside of 5 inches from you, you have to port forward it. so I tried a few programs (none of which have worked so far) and I put in the standard 28000 port. People said they couldn't connect. so what the heck am I doing wrong? and please don't tell me I need to break into my router settings because I don't think I have the username and password.
