this issue has been dealt with over-and-over-and-over in these forums, with numerous solutions possible- please take the time to search through the forum for words like "firewall" or "hosting" or "noone can join" (for example). there are other numerous possibilites and I hope you can figure them out. if not ask a friend for help in using the search tools here.

also, you provide next to nothing in information that can be used to help you- no OS info, no firewall info (name, version, etc.), no connection info (modem, DSL, etc.). "can sum1 plz help me" will likely get you ridiculed for your laziness in spelling before you actually get any useful help.

take a day or two to search the forum for a solution, or atleast discussions on what to look for to help you host- they *are* there if you take the time to look.
