Playing friends online

Im new to Stockcar heat, also a few of my mates have just downloaded the game too.
My question is, is it possible to create a server online for me and my selected friends to play on? and if so, can someone walk me through doing it.

I have tried clicking 'create' on 56k modem, enter my password, then they try and find my ip address, but for some reason on my mates end, it says 'unable to find host'.

Im sure all our firewalls are set ok, so is there any other reason why it is not working?

Any help is appreciated

Cheers
