I know I've asked about hosting SO MANY TIMES and I apolgize but what I never asked is, can everyone host? I've tried The port forward site and maybe it's just me but I can't ever get anything running on Dream Daemon I get the same thing saying it couldn't reach players. So games like Mitadake High and even my own game never open for public even when I try it.
Sorry for the "Newbish" Question but I'm at the point where I really want to get things working now.
Well TBH this router stuff isn't exactly my stronghold all I know is I have an Old Linksys router and the model is a WRT54G ( yes I know very outdated ) I've tried in the router itself enabling in the app&gaming but nothing.

most typical issue is you have some firewall running blocking your ports which either A) you're completely unaware of or B) you haven't disabled
| |
I do have McAfee which does block programs alot

It's most likely your router doesn't have the right port forwarding.

If you have a modem, that can act as a router and you may need to portforward through it. Of course, I have the same router model as you, and mine doesn't work either, so maybe it's just the model.

i too have the same router, and it USED to work, but doesn't anymore. i've done a lot trying to figure out how to get it to work, but to no avail
| |
I think when it comes to these things my brain just stops, god only knows why :/

it's certainly possible that in your case, the only way to be able to host would be to get a completely new router/modem/etc setup. but you've told us nothing of what your current setup is so there's no way of knowing
