Well yes this is another post of Hosting Problems. I read the WAHELP guides and I did put my correct IP and forced IP I added the "6667" port, I still get no people on my game. I don't know what to do. I trying WormNAT,but I seem to get an error "Failed to find useable proxy - please check your Internet connection" when I automatically search. Help!

Doesn't matter. Just forward 17011 just like you did 6667.

you dont forward 80 or 6667 unless you need to else your creating a hole in your security, the game has to be allowed access to 6667 through your firewall and not your router.

you must forward 17011 TCP in your router.

Well, if you tell us what make & model your router is, someone might have it or have knowledge of how to forward the necessary ports on it.

Usually you log into your router's homepage (see your instruction manual or "network administrator" for the address as it tends to vary from setup to setup, but there's often a few "standard" addresses) and follow the links to either Firewall setup or Applications or Port Forwarding, and from there it's pretty self explanatory what to do (well, it is on my router)

Sorry for that last post your right, I went to Congiruting in my router and added the ports this (http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Belkin/F5D5230-4/Worms_Armageddon.htm)page said. They game me a list of PC games to pick from and I did what it says. But it still doesnt work...:(
