    Thank you for your reply!
    Nope , even if I use port forwarding , it doesnt working. They told me that the problem is with NAT. When Im using as a hotspot the netgear , then Im getting on switch NAT type C. When Im using as a hotspot my smartphone , Im getting on switch NAT type B , and only then I can play online. Is there a solution about that?
