where is the location of the individual trying to join you? across town?, in another city?, in another room in the same house on a home network which has a router?...more info would probably help. if you are behind a router, you may need to do some port forwarding if you are serving the game.,,that goes for the other individual as well if he/she serving. Also check your firewall software.,you may need to allow CLoD permissions. Good luck.

The person hosting must forward port 27015 on their router if using the internet.

If you are trying a lan you do not need port forwarding.However in the network section you need to choose lan instead of internet.

If you are trying a direct connect between two computers you need a crossover cable.

If you are behind a router create game from Multiplayer >> Lobby menu. It is done for this purpose.
