Starting a game via the in game "Create Game" tab

[Jurassic Sushi]

Hello all'

I have been at this for about 5 hours now and i am 100% frustrated.

Goal: To click on the in game tab "Multiplayer > Create Local" and start a game that some friends can join and play.

Problem: Using a router and opened up numerous ports that ea has listed for BF2 and it still doesnt work.

Other info: Router & modem is connected directly to another machine that does not have bf2 on it.

I want to run this game from my machine that does.

I was told that the port # that appears via Xfire is 55125

I enabled that port + the standard port of 16567 on the router.

Please help me. I just wanna set up a US Intervention game to play along with maybe 10 other people.

I'm using a TrendNet TEW-432BRP wireless router. but i am connected to it via the lan wire.

This is from EA's Site:

The above ports have been enabled.
