try allowing giants program access through your firewall if you're running win 7. if you search around the forum you can forward a port but don't exactly remember which exact port.

If on LAN should be able to find it regardless.

For internet hosting you need 19711 TCP/UDP (to let players join) and UDP 8911 (server visibility) forwarded. Consult your router manual on how to forward ports.

If you are experiencing lag from other players joining your server, it's almost always due to a slow connection speed or poor routing (in this day and age pure distance isn't a huge factor). This can be due to your own connection or the joining players'. At any rate, it's not due to blocked ports.

If the pings are fluctuating a lot, it's probably because someone on your network is using up bandwith, or possibly an unstable WiFi connection. If pings are stable (and no differences at varying times of the day) it's probably an issue related to your ISP.
