Re: Another can't host question
I would like to add that I used port checker from portforward.com to check if my ports are open and all of them 33335-33336 tcp to 33334 udp are open

Re: Another can't host question
To get your game to show up in the lobby, you need to do the following:
On both your game's "Option" tab in Other Multiplayer, and the "Option" tab in the lobby, you must select your correct IPv4 address (example: 192.168.1.104).
Do this in the lobby by simply selecting the correct address from the list in the Network Details box of the Options tab, and do it in the game by clicking on the Options tab in Other Multiplayer, clicking the "Choose network adapter..." button, and selecting whatever has the correct address associated with it.
As for the ports you need to forward, those are so that people can actually join and play in your hosted game. If you followed the directions on Port Forward, you should be set, but I'll just re-list the specific ports anyway:
33334 and 33336 both TCP and UDP
33335 TCP
OR, as I usually tell people, just do the range of 33334-33335 TCP and UDP, because that's nice and simple
