Help - Issue with joining mates private server.

[(ABR) Sam 5]

A buddy of mine as set up a private hive server (filter for skippy) basically, I can't join. I simply get the connecting failed message as do all of our friends. We'd love to setup a private server for us and anyone else willing to come play but need to get it running smoothly. Any tips on how to get around connecting failed and general smoothing out tips? Help appreciated!

sounds like your buddy's firewall is blocking all incoming connections, have him try opening all ports or turning off the firewall, that usually is the first place to look when you get connection failed issues, beyond that he may not have the server config properly, hope that helps.
