You have a dynamic ip. Probably have a NAT firewall also. Chances of your friend connecting to you without port forwarding are probably minimal.

Port forwarding is about opening a port for LW which is port 6346. Net games & video conferencing also need this type of thing except they require many more ports to be opened.

You will need to tell us your modem & router brand names & model numbers. You'll also need to set up a static ip for it to be successful.

Please answer this question in a separate thread. We are starting to change topic now!
