General talk about Transport Tycoon that isn't specific to TTD, TTDPatch or OpenTTD.

Define "game". Is it TTO, TTD, TTDPatch or OpenTTD?

I suspect the latter, but you aren't too clear about that (and the forum where you posted doesn't make that too clear either ;)).

Assuming OpenTTD and assuming you're behind a router, you must forward the appropriate ports. The FAQ will tell you which ones: http://wiki.openttd.org/FAQ_multiplayer ... TTD_use.3F And the manual of your router will tell you how to forward, otherwise check portforward.com.

TTD itself hardly supports multiplayer. If you play another game (like FooBar asked), I suggest to ask the question in the appropriate forum (section).

As I suspected, most likely a port forward issue.
