Moved to Technical Help.

If you did the portforwarding then you have to create a new game or load an existing game in the Multiplayer dialog.
After you've clicked Play in the Multiplayer lobby and are on the map your friend can join you using the 'Connect to game' screen and needs to enter your IP (http://www.whatsmyip.org).
