Hi. There have been several occasions where I've asked a friend to join me in an online game of Battlefield 1942. I'll create a server and he won't be able to even see it in the server list. Can someone tell me why this happens and how I can fix it?

when you host a server, there are a few things you need to do for it to be seen in the outside world:

1.) run a dedicated server (then it gets added to the right list)

2.) open a port in your router

3.) set up a static ip

its not really simple, but google it for more information
