Have you set the right ports to open in the firewall (check your BC manual), both on your computer and on your router.

I'm afraid I'm not sure.

According to Activision Support it requires:
"Bridge Commander uses ports 22101 and 28900 for both incoming and outgoing traffic."

My friend and I are also having the same problem.  We try to host a game but we can't see the other's game.  Our firewalls are turned off.  On a different computer, my multiplayer worked fine.  Any help with this would really be appreciated.  Thanks.

What firewall are you using? Some firewalls can't be turned off completly without blocking half the ports.

Are you on different networks and are you using direct ip connect?
Which ips are you then using? And did you turn on NAT translation for the ports (to and from your computer to your router) on both your and your friends computer?
