My friend and I have trouble creating a multiplayer server. The game doesn't show up on the server list, and attempting to join by server id says "host timed out." It works about 1 in 10 times, for reasons we can't discern. Normally we just keep trying different things over and over until we get in. Today, however, we've been trying for over half an hour to get our game going again.

- Enabled/disabled windows firewall.
