Did either of you port forward?

If port forwarding fails, I'd recommend "Hamachi".

Hamachi is a program that allows users to make P2P connections by using alternate IPs, which may fix your hosting problem.

Click here to get Hamachi.

Portforwarding is a sure-fix for your problem, and doesn't require Hamachi, but you need to have administrative access to whatever routers you may have.

Click here for the portforwarding tutorial.

Edit: Information fixed.

Hamachi doesn't simulate LANs, it just allows for users to have P2P connections by using alternate IPs >_> They can be used to make small networks, too, but they work nowhere near a LAN.

Oh, I thought that's what it did.

Yeah, I wonder why people often think Hamachi emulates LANs :/

The only reason I thought it simulated one is because I heard it from someone else. I honestly didn't know. =|

It's a common mistake people make. Maybe it has to do with the networking system?
