Can't See Anyone (Coldbird.net server playing Monster Hunter Portable 3rd)

[guile89]

Hi fellas! How are u guys going?
See, i did everything that the tutorial showed (DMZ stuff...) to play on Coldbird.net but i can't see the player, shows that is only me in the lobby, even i knowing that have another one in there. (My friend for another city...) and we're playing on Android devices. Is there anyone to help us here? Thanks.

It's definitely the NAT problem then. I am the same , I did everything , DMZ , UPNP , setting static IP etc. Basically spent 2 years to find out what the heck was wrong with my connection , why couldn't I see others. And I finally found out my ISP only provides STRICT NAT (Nat type 3).
There are 3 types of NATS (1 -Open , 2-Moderate , 3-Strict) , if you have type 3 , it means you're hopeless , it's horrible for gaming and you better go for Evolve or hamachi.
Some ISPs are like that.
But you must go to your router settings and see if you can change your nat type. Hope this helps!

Using a VPN from OpenVPN (a chinese guy created a vpn just for PPSSPP) and worked, but it's kinda laggy, because is a vpn AND it's from another continent, let's say, FAR from here. But here's the link: http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=20437
