http://portforward.com/
try portforward.com above
has lists/instructions for every router, and also what ports need forwarding for different games
worst case - place your router in DMZ - will leave you open to the internet, but shouldnt be a problem for a short time while gaming
often works better |

If you have done all the research and opened all the ports you think you need opened and your application (;or game in this case) is not working the way it should be then this is the prefect chance for you to test your game in DMZ.
DMZ means demilitarized zone, which more or less translates into unprotected.
When you go to your router and put a system in DMZ what you are doing is really telling the router to treat the machine as if it is on the other side of the router. This means the system has no protection at all. Every single port is opened to the machine and this of course allows hackers to get at the system and try hacking it.
Why do we want to put our system in DMZ if it is not protected anymore? Well the problem is that sometimes applications and games use ports for certain things and unless you know the port number you cannot get the specific portion of the application or game to work. So we want to put the system in DMZ to see if that fixes the issue.
If it does fix the issue then we know that there are more ports that need to be opened and pointed to our system. If it does not fix the problem then we know the issue is related to the other people not having the correct ports open on their systems.
If DMZ fixes the issue then I would suggest doing more research and find out what other ports need to be opened. I would not suggest using DMZ all the time but if you cannot figure out what ports then just put your system in DMZ while you need it to run the application or game and then take it out of DMZ when you are done. |
