What is the quickest, simplest way to set up a non-dedicated server?

I have my hosts.file modified in order to play on GameMaster, but (as far as I know) I can't just click "create" instead of "join" and have the server show up for my friend and I to play on.  We've been playing on Tunngle, but Tunngle isn't near as good as GameMaster.

-edit:  Oh, and I only have one PC to play on.  Hosting on one computer and playing on another is not an option for me.

Thanks in advance!

Read my hosting guide.  You will just need to portforward.

OK, thanks.  I'll give that a shot.

I used to run dedicated servers back when we used the GameSpy master server, but I haven't since.  Is it the same +portforwarding?

I am currently on the 'Select Your Router' step, and my router is not an option.

What should I do?

I have a 2wire i38HG.

Try to find your manual and find out how to portforward.

We do not have our manual, but I believe I found the correct one online.



I think I have it figured out, but I'll make sure in the morning.

Thanks for the help!
