Forward port 5911.
Instructions for almost all routers can be found at www.portforward.com (click on "routers", click on your router's model, select Worms 3D, and follow the steps).

Also, you will need to disable all firewalls, or if you know how, either:
* Allow Worms 3D to act access the internet and act as a server
* Unblock port 5911
(depending on what firewalls, if any, you have).


Hope this helps!

Tip: A useful site is www.canyouseeme.org . Host a game in Worms 3D, then minimise Worms 3D (can't remember how you do this, try things like Alt + Tab, Ctrl + Alt + Del, etc.). Then, go to that site, and type 5911 into the "What Port?" box. If you get an error, that means something is still blocking that port. If you get a success message, people should (in theory) be able to join your games.
