I think I have a host but the host can't get the game to let others join....
It keeps saying, "World opened on network port 53404.
BYOND hub reports port 53404 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 FIX THIS?

Its going to be important to know if your trying to host on your own computer using Dream Daemon, or if your trying to host on a remote computer.
Either way, as the message says, the problem that's occurring is that something, typically of firewall of some-sort, is blocking the port from communicating to the hub (and most-likely, all other connections).
If you are hosting in Dream Daemon, look for a little yellow arrow sign symbol that appears in place of the green "GO" button. If you click the yellow arrow button, and are not connected to the game, then the problem may be a firewall on your computer denying access (If you can connect, then it doesn't mean that there isn't a firewall issue, its just less likely)
If you connect to the Internet though a router or modem, Then it is very likely that you'll have to configure your router's firewall (frequency called "port forwarding").
PortForward.com offers a large, free, selection of guides for just about every model and type of router out there. Its going to be important to know your router model number and brand (Typically listed on the sticker on the underside of your router, but you may need to reference the owner's manual for this information), and its also going to be important to follow all the directions.
If you run into problems trying to port forward or reconfigure your firewall, post back here with you router model number and brand, or firewall information, and be very specific as to where your running into issues.
Good luck!
