Then, that's your problem.
You need to sort your router out to allow it to accept connections from whatever port you're using in your games.
My router contains profiles for lots of games and apps in the settings. It's pretty easy to change.
To change the settings, it's where you type an address into IE or whatever and enter login, right?

Updating it wouldn't help your problem but it wouldn't hurt. I don't know. I'm out of ideas. It should work with those settings. If you had ZoneAlarm Pro, you could set up an expert rule to allow it to access a specific port. It works okay without ZA running, then?
I have ZA pro
And I'm just assuming it works without firewall as I've had this problem with hosting servers for a few games, never tried to get a solution before though.

It's still not working for me, the server refuses to show up in server list
And the server version says 1,0,0,0 if that's the problem (how to update to 1.0.9.6)?

Mine isn't newest, my version is 6.5.737.0000 according to product info and there is 7.blah released on website. Anyway of doing it with this version?
Yeah, It's in that version too. You right click on the icon in your taskbar and click Game Mode. If you've tried running the game as a server, the game should be listed in the ZA Program list which you can change. You get a popup question telling you if you want to run it as a server or not.
Ah I see, can't believe I didn'tr try right clicking in the first place.

ZA should have like a trusted zone...put AvP2 in there.
Doesn't solve the problem, the firewall will not let anonymous connections to a server on my PC, hence it won't appear in server list or even let people connect while its running. So I need a way around it, without disabling it.
