Third attempt:
port-forward your crossfire ports
Here is how: 1. Open Windows Firewall by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering firewall in the search box, and then tapping or clicking Windows Firewall.
2. Tap or click Advanced settings. Administrator permission required You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
3. In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security dialog box, in the left pane, tap or click Inbound Rules, and then, in the right pane, tap or click New Rule.
4. Follow the instructions on your screen and/or see the instructions to open the ports in your firewall here:

You will need to add 3 different ports, but each one twice (one for TCP and one for UDP). The name/port/protocols are as follows:
- Name: Crossfire, Port: 13008, Protocol: TCP
- Name: Xtrap1, Port: 10009, Protocol: TCP
- Name: Xtrap2, Port: 16666, Protocol: TCP
- Name: Crossfire, Port: 13008, Protocol: UDP
- Name: Xtrap1, Port: 10009, Protocol: UDP
- Name: Xtrap2, Port: 16666, Protocol: UDP
If you are using a router, it most likely has its own firewall. Unfortunately since there are many router manufacturers, it’s almost impossible to create a guide that would offer step-by-step instructions on how to set up these 'port forwards'. Please consult your router manufacturer's website for information on how to accomplish this. The ports you will need to forward are: 10009, 13008 and 16666 (both TCP and UPD just to be safe). If you visit
https://portforward.com you can find instructions on how to forward these ports for your router, however Cross Fire has not yet been added to their list of games. Simply pick a random game and replace the values that they have listed with the values listed above.
