Make sure you are using the internal IP of the host (ipgonfig /all) not the external IP (given in game) seen here: http://www.ipchicken.com/

I had to do this to play with a buddy in-house.

I had to do this to play with my buddy 5 feet away:
Since you are both on the same network, there is no need to forward ports, just need to enter the host's internal IP address.  This IP address usually like 192.168.2.8 depending on the router (can do cmd "ipconfig /all" to find it, do not use the one listed in game).  This ip different than your external IP which is found at http://www.ipchicken.com/.

If you wanted someone outside of your network to join, would need the ports forwarded and to know your external IP.

Hope it helps.

Note that if you are playing with your kids, or anyone else in the same house, on the same wi-fi/Ethernet network, they can connect the host by putting in their internal IP address usually like 192.168.2.8 depending on the router (can do the "ipconfig /all" to find it, not the one listed in game).  This ip different than your external IP which is found at http://www.ipchicken.com/. For internal IP addresses, no port forwarding should be needed.

Hope it helps.
