Cannot connect Netplay to people from other countries

[jatuni]

I have been trying to play ssbm online via netplay for awhile now. for some reason i cant connect to anyone except my swedish friend and some random dude that's also from sweden. I cant host either even tho i have forwarded a port for dolphin and set it to force listen to the port. I have checked if all my setings on the emulator are correct and they are. It's not version difference either, since my friend can connect to other people without problems and i can connect to him. Any suggestions?
