Odd... I can't connect to yours either. It's one of two things, do you have a firewall? Mine is off right now, and you have to add exception to Silas.exe.

Other than that, maybe the Upnp dll isn't working properly? But that hang you get when you create a game is it opening your port 7500. Silas needs this port opened.

I dont think it's port related though, since you would have been able to connect to my game...
