More info: I can host a game fine, but as far as people joining it, dunno about that, no one has yet. Also, often times when I'm on the server lists, all the games I can join (the white ones) always saying "pinging, pinging, pinging..." and continues abnormally long. It could either be their connection speed or mine (but I have DSL, so I don't think so.) PLUS, all the games that are grayed out have no problem getting a ping rate (talk about frusturating). This has happened every time except for once. (Did that all make sense? I hope so.)

In answer to you questions:

1. what's a router? Since I don't know/can't remember what one is, I don't think so.

2. No, why?

3. What do you mean by "home network"?

4. Nope. It's DSL.

Thanks.
