I host my game but it won't let anyone join it's not visible in the pager or the hub and i have no firewall to stop it. Do you think it could be a code problem?

Does your router have port forwarding set up?
Does this happen on your own game or someone else's game?
If so, what game?
What process exactly are you going through to host? (I.E: Are you clicking the host button... what port, visibility, etc)

Stopped server.
World opened on network port 2439.

BYOND hub reports port 2439 cannot be reached by players.

A firewall or router may be interfering with your connection. For information on hosting worlds through a firewall or router, please visit BYOND Help or portforward.com.

How do I host a game might prove interesting reading material for you.
I'd be tempted to say that you likely have a router, but don't know about it.

Read the steps. I asking, are you using NetGears?

1.Type RouterLogin.com or LoginRouter.com (im not quite sure..)
2.Username:Admin
3:Password:Password
4:Go to Port trigger/Port forward

(He..you stop here. you got some missing before you go on.)

5:Click start and then "Run"
If you using a Laptop, Press start and type "Run" on the search bar below.
6:Type Cmd
7:Type ipconfig (where the _ the thing repeats)
8:You see the ip adress? Keep the window on!
9:okay go back to the windows internet.
10:Click Create Server
11:Use any ports
12:use Start and End Ports (Example:Startport:1000 EndPort:2000)
13: Copy the Ip address on Run window
14: And click ok!
15: Wala! Now you finish. I hope this can help you ;)

Umm..it not a host problem. I think it a Ports number. It not connecting.
