When I host a game, and i get 2 friends two join. One friend can, but then when the other friend trys, he gets the error 'cannot connect to host'. This happens in direct connect and the lobby

This is possibly a DMZ issue. You need to find your router's DMZ option (Or at the very least, hope it has one) and direct it to your network-internal IP address, and your friends need to do the same for their own computers.
Basically, how it works is this: People without DMZ set properly can join games, but there can only be ONE of them in any game at a time. The minute someone without DMZ joins a game, nobody else can join at all (Either that or nobody else without DMZ can join. I'm not entirely sure).
