Unhappy TCP/IP Gaming

Hey everyone,

I have recently installed a broadband system at my house. The ISP have provided me with a modem so I have connected the modem to a hub, along with two other computers. This way I am able to access internet from both computers and share files between them. No problems there.

However I encounter problems when trying to host a TCP/IP game. Whenever I host, my freinds are unable to see me. However, I am able to connect to them. I have tried turning all my firewall systems, however the problem is still there. I have tried giving my freinds both my WAN IP and the static IP given to me by the ISP, however in both cases I was not visible to my freinds and they were not able to connect to me.

Does anyone know a possible solution to this problem? Or a way to find where the problems lies?

Thank you very much in advance.
