This page (Applications) isn't for port forwarding.

If you look here in my firewall setting I have it set for ports should i disable the application aspect of the router port forwarding for the 9000 and 9080 ports?

You need to disable DMZ to first stop exposing your computer from the Internet.

Get rid of the filters, and the other world settings up in virtual server.

Then you want to use the Firewall tab with the following:

Source (drop down) WAN (text field is * as well)
Destination (drop down) LAN (text field is your local IP to the server)
Port Range (UDP) 9000 - 9080

That will open your internet ip to forward all ports 9000-9080 to your destination (local ip)

EverQuest protocol is UDP, server is TCP keep your TCP private and local it is just as vulnerable as the EQ protocol.

9000 is the world port, you can use 9001-9080 for zone ports set it in your eqemu_config.xml

Let me know if you have problems, I used to have that awesome(crappy) router myself. It is now sitting next to me disassembled :P

I suggest buying a cheap box with 2 ethernet cards to be honest and install SmoothWall (google it).

If you handle a bunch of users on a home line, say 30+ or you are thinking of a big server, you should get a hardware firewall. Why? EQ sends too many damn packets (it is an MMO afterall). These little things have like 386's or less in em (no joke)

I am saying this in general reference btw.

Just to be sure wanna look this over and make sure it is correct.

Thanks
