Hey guys,
Until two/three days ago, my friend (who lives near Washington DC) has been connecting to the server I host for us using my global IP address just fine (I live in Cape Town, South Africa). Now however, she is unable to join the server that I am hosting via IP, but can join via Steam. This would be fine, but joining via Steam causes her to lag like nothing I've ever seen, and basically makes the game unplayable for her. Strangely, I can connect by IP just fine to a server she hosts (but her laptop is rubbish, and can't really handle hosting and playing simultaneously).
I have done a system restore, disabled firewalls on both my PC and my router, restarted my router, double-checked port forwarding etc. etc., but all to no avail. I am reasonably certain the problem lies with my router or my ISP (although I am pretty incompetent with this stuff), as I have successfully pinged her global IP, she cannot ping my global IP, and I have successfully pinged my PC's local IP from another laptop on the same network. Beyond this I am really not sure what I can do to fix this problem
Thanks in advance for any help,
Notso
