If you're running your computer through a router or have a software firewall, then perhaps the firewall is blocking the inbound ports that you need. I'd start by looking in the instructions to see what the requirements are for hosting games and then see if you're running a firewall and make the changes you need. If you could provide specifics like the game and what kind of firewall, perhaps we could provide specific instructions.
