This is a short tutorial created upon request to show how to host Left 4 dead 2 online with friends and still be able to use cheats. If you have a router, this will not work until you open the ports required. The ports are 4380, and 27000-27050. The advantage of playing online with friends and being able to have cheats enabled allows you to play with mods such as Barricade Builder Mod. You can open console by hitting the ~ key, which is next to 1. One extra thing you may have to do is turn off Windows Firewall. Google is your friend. Websites: www.whatismyip.com – Gives you’re IP Address which you give to friends. www.portforward.com – Where you go to find out how to open ports. www.youtube.com – Barricade Builder

@MinecraftLovars Hamachi just sets up a lan connection.. Should work.. You might have to look into it a little more. I used Hamachi for N64 multiplayer games, Medieval 2: Total War, and some other stuff.
MinecraftLovars says
if u have hamachi will this still work? me and my friend only use hamachi because if i open my ports, i have a better chance of getting virus hacked and stuff…. stupid comcast! 🙁
