Invisible Please help

Hi,

As the topic suggests, I'm complety invisible when I'm hosting a game via Gamespy.
Before Fo v3 I made some changes to my router and I could host again for me and my friends.
However I am now not able to host.

So what I did today is turn off my firewall on my computer and the webacces protection of my virusscanner (NOD32, I know this occasionaly bugs online games). This didn't solve my problem, so I turned off the firewall on my router (Esperiabox from the KPN) complety and even this didn't work.

I'm all out off ideas, is there someone who still has a trick for this?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

By the way today I also played Company of heroes with my brother and here I could host without any problems.

to have armada 2 hosting working, you have to forward some ports from your router to your pc. that is because of the age of this game. some modern games have various options to get around this port forwarding thing. you can get information about which ports need to be forwarded in the nethelp.txt, that can be found in the data folder or by pressing the help button from the ingame multiplayer menu.
