"The Matchmaker"

Hello,
me and my friend are having severe network issues. We can’t play together and i can’t seem to find a official guide for forwarding ports. We activated upnp and everything.

The only thing I find is the matchmaker which seems to be down very often.
Is there a way to see the current status, so we dont try for hours?

Thanks in advance

thanks for the links, we did all these steps.
still wont work, so I guess it is waiting time.

Have you perhaps tried resetting your routers and modems?

I just tried with a friend some 30 minutes or so ago and she was able to connect to me (twice) with no issue.
