i can host, people cant join, ive had this problem for months and i can never fix it, my ports keeps changing for some reason when people are trying to join. I have no firewalls up, except for my NAT which i have to have it is built into my router, port forwarding doesnt work either. Also one time one of my friends changed his port to the one being displayed when it said Retrying Server (IP Address and port number) (1) and he got in fine, but this port isnt the one i set in my settings and it changes every few minutes for some reason, i dont know why, so do i need a static IP address for this? and if i do can someone explain to me how to set up one?
