does anyone else here have problems with hosting games on their mac? i know both 304jr and i have this problem. my firewall is off, but it still wont work

I don't have any problem.

Remember to forward the ports of your router to your computer, your firewall is one thing, your router is another one. I know it's might be a little difficult sometimes but we can't do anything about it for the moment.

Do you always have a problem hosting games or it's time to time?

[Dudeman13]

ive always had problems. 

how do you forward ports and how do you set up your router?

[Mathieu]

If you are using a router you will need to configure it to forward ports 28000-28002 to your computer.

I can't helps you more as every router configuration is different
Try googling "forward port *your_router*".
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm can help too.

the usual default way to access your router is 192.168.1.1

You don't need to turn it off completly but you must open the ports 28000-28002 on your firewall, there nothing we can do about this.
