Wireless or not, if its a router its usually also called a firewall. Getting past this requires ports to be forwarded.

For those who don't know where or what the hell to do, on your addressbar above, type in the IP of your router. Mine is the basic basic default of 192.168.0.1 (or 192.168.1.1 in my recent case)

Now, the popup box that you'll see to enter the router... the default Username will usually be : admin, user, or some shizzle like that.
The password for most routers is usually: password, pass or 1234.
If you still can't figure out what they are, find the manuel or search your router online for details.
On the router page, look for the port forwarding link.

Now. Remember, this is the only router I can get too, but this should be the same to all.
On port forwarding page, it should list (none if new user) ports being forwarded.

On the empty form where you go to add in all the right parts...
Name: can be anything. its just a label
Start port: 17010
End port: 17012
^ start and end just means all the numbers in between. this includes the 17011.
Protocol: ignore and set to Both
Local IP: The computer playing the game. In my case, my local IP is 11 but changes to 10 from time to time, so I added both in case.

Once your done, add. Walla, W:A's ports are forwarded. (but not done yet! skip the step below if you already know about it)

FINDING LOCAL IP
(THIS IS FOR USERS WHO DON'T KNOW THEIR COMPUTERS LOCAL IP ADDY FOR FORWARDING THEIR PORTS)

Kay, if your not sure where to find out what your local IP is (as it is important), go to;
Start, click control panel.

We are gonna assume the default view, so click Network and Internet Connections, or Internet Connections for classic viewers.

Next there will be a listing of connections. For me, theres one which is this computer thats connected to the internets. Right click it, and click Status

On the popup, click the Support tab and it will have the info about your stuff.
Look at IP address, as that will show what the computers IP will be that you will need to enter during your port forwarding thing.
Default Gateway is your router, just so you know

Now that the proper ports have been forwarded, open W:A.
On wormnet, click Configuration.
Note: My W:A style is different, but its still W:A

On that page, insert your Internet IP address, then tick Force IP. Exit, walla.

That concludes my tutorial on hosting on W:A as these steps got me hosting the first time.
If theres anything missing or moderators would like to add, go nuts.
