I had the same "error". However, I could host games just fine. See this thread if you want a more in depth discussion (the more in depth discussion is actually in Annatar's thread link).WWW Link

uriel,

In version 1.1 BETA (v1.09) you do not need to "forward or open" any ports on your router.

The reason people are seeing "IP not visible" in the Hosting Test, is because most routers and firewalls block ICMP requests (PING). It's not an issue because as you will see in this thread you can ignore said message and host without problems.

thanks,

the Monk

uhh,
that depends on your router... basically you got webbased configuration page on your router... you should be able to access it via any browser. its adress is your standardgateway, use ipconfig to dertermine its ip if you are not sure...
once you entered the configuration module you can achieve the "open port" in at least two ways:
1. Do a port redirection to your PCs IP adress
2. Open up the port in the routers firewall

you should have a look into the documentation of your router...
