Server not responding
I can not host a coop match with a friend because the server does not respond. I also can not connect to his server due to the same problem.
- My port is set to 2303
- Enabled the UPNP option.
- I disabled Windows Firewall.
Could someone help me fix this?

UPNP enabled in your router? Some of them come with it default set to OFF.
Make sure you're connecting to your external IP and not your local, can also use a port checker to make sure they are actually open.

Many thanks for the reply.
The interesting thing is that yesterday it only worked once, and after I closed the server and tried to open it again, the problem happened again.
So sometimes it works and sometimes it does not work. Very weird!

I have had that happen to me as well, usually a router reboot has fixed it.
Another time the person connecting needed a computer reboot.
Very basic "fixes" but make sure those are done as well.

Thank you so much again. I'll try to do this.
I'll also watch the video that Rekkless posted.

If I succeed, I warn you.
