hosting troubles

[Shiny Rabbit]

my freind and i were going to test a map i have been working on but his server just says "pinging", he has the right ports forwarded and it used to work but now, bizzarely, it doesn't

Could it possibly have to do something with a network bridge? (I have quite the same problem)

(..bump) Does your friend have a dynamic (changing) IP address? If this is the case, re-forwarding will help.
