I have the same problem. I copy the level propertese from a map that works to my own. Then I send it to a friend. My friend join my server and I type in: open (nameofmap). I am at the map but the other guy cant play at it. He cant join the server either. I have atleast fixed so that it shows the name of the map in the server list. :D But it is still impossible to play togheter. :/ Tell us how you do exactly to make it work.

the level properties only make a difference when used on a dedicated server, and even there i'm sure it's that big of a deal, because i have my friend host my maps for me while they are in the construction stage all the time and their properties are not edited
it is most likely an issue with your routers and all that fun internet junk, causing you to be unable to play together
i have no idea how to fix that unfortunately, but it would be good to simply find a friend who is capable of hosting servers

Do it have to be a dedicated server? My clan leader Skull are able to do private servers. If anyone else knows how to do it, please help.

If you are playing through a router than you will more than likely have to open your ports to allow others to join a game you host. There are a number of sites that you can search to help with portforwarding your router. If you've done this and still have problems than it may be an issue with the internet.

Should it work if I do a lan game? I got 2 computers and 2 republic commando. Both can play togheter in regular server with both the same router and if they use one each. I have already tried to port forward. I have no idea how to do it. Only that it exist a program that can do it for you pretending on what game it is. But you must have money for it. How do I do it manualy? And how do I do to fix more than only host at the mod map?

This might sound obvious but you have definitely ended the maps with  .ctm ?
and you and your friends definitely have the same mapname  and edit. ?
maybe yours is called slightly different name have a doubl chek

Yes they are saved as .ctm files. i emailed him the map so he saved it with the same name. just when i open the map he cannot join my LAN server.
