We've taken the liberty to pop a guide online that is intended to help people ensure that they have their PC's configured properly for Worms4 online play. If your machine is not configured correctly then you will have problems successfully hosting.
Please see:
www.wormsmayhem.com and look in the support section.
You will need these settings present for the demo to work - and the full game (obviously) if you are wishing to play online.
There is a longer, more cosy explanation for non-technical folks as we appreciate that all things network are not the most easily understood.
Bottom line is that due to widespread installation of security/firewalls, your PC needs "doors" opening so that the game can communicate. These "doors" are generally all closed as a preventative measure by firewall software on your PC (and/or Router, if you have one).
