I have opened up the UDP port 8767 on my router and my friend can now see the server. But after 3 sec or so it say Connection Timed out. I can connect to the server cause it is on my LAN but he can not. I don't have any firewalls up and I have the 8767 UDP port forwarded. Is there any other ports that I can forward that will fix this probelm or is it a problem with my ISP maybe.

if your friend only wants to connect to the server with his client, you don't need to open any other ports.

This could either be a router or an ISP problem, yes. (your server works as you can see when you're connected.)

well the router I have is a Network Everywhere Wired Router model NR041-WM (it is made by Linksys). Not sure if this tells you anything about the problem I am having.

There are houndred or thousand different routers available. You have to check your router with your supplyer for known problems.

Have a first look if there are new firmwares available. Often new products have problems which get solved by new access device drivers (firmware).
