Dumb question about port forwarding

[pfyon]

You have to set the port forwards in your router's configuration.

http://portforward.com/ has guides for various manufacturers if you've never done it before.

edit: note the 'skip this advertisement' at the top right of the page when you find your model :p

I was wondering what port# needed to be forwarded?
5998
and then 7000-7100 per my config?

My router unfortunately does not have range forwarding so I need to hand type the ones I need (doh!)

I have the same question: Which port or ports need to be forwarded?

Can anyone shed some light on this?

[revloc02c]

It's been awhile, but I want to post what I found for posterity. Here's the ports I forwarded:

• 9000
• 9080
• 7000-7100

...and it works. I am not sure if that is overkill, I have not tried any trial & error to see if changing something breaks it.

Don't forward port 9080 unless you want someone to be able to remotely log in to the web based server admin tool. It's not required for people to just login and play.

But not just those remember 5998 or 5999 depending on what client you are using.

And are those TCP or UDP?
