Problems with UDP

Well me and a friend can't get UDP working for netplay. We're using zsnes 1.36. When he tries connecting to me it says client found and goes nowhere, when I try connecting to him it just plain does nothing from either side. The problem no doubt is the fact that he uses a router. I have no idea how to get past this considering I've never used a router before. So... any tips?

With UDP, you both have to port forward UDP port 7845. Until you can get this accomplished, you're not going to be able to netplay. TCP, though slightly laggier, only requires one side to forward.

Can you explain how that is done?

Read the other threads here that discuss port fowarding perhaps?

Uh... I didn't find any actual explanations of how to forward a port when I searched the forum for it.

You didn't notice the announcement at the top of this forum?
