Does anyone know how to make it so that you can host games on steam through a router? i tried looking through the steam website and stuff and i can't find anything that will help. I've already forwarded the ports, now i've heard i need to edit a file? i'm not sure how to do this. anyone know?

The ports are easily accessable in the Steam Support section...

Quite obvious, but if you have an additional software firewall installed, make sure you configure it too.
