when you firs start up JO or AW2 before logging into novaworld there is a LAN button option where you can host a server with maps in you game folder.

To host a multiplayer through novaworld with multiple instances you change the port number in the multiplayer section of the game.config file - 6th line down default is 32768
so for server 1-32769
server 2 - 32770 and so on up to 32787
open the port in the router for that machine - this all works great on all my machines using multiplayer.
Have not figured out LAN yet

So it does - my bad, it's been a while now.

I've dealt with this same problem in the past so I know we're probably missing something here.

If you're sure the config is correct then the router is the likely suspect.

How about trying a port range instead of a single port?

I doubt having a DMZ or not would make any difference.
