~~~~~GUIDE TO PORT FORWARDING~~~~~
First thing to do is DO YOU HAVE A ROUTER! To check, look where your cable goes to. If you connects up to this box with lots of other ports where your cable can fit, then YES you are behing a router.
I thought i would do this for all the newbies who have routers behind their computer...
Ok the first step is to go start>run>cmd
It should come up with a cmd. Then type in ipconfig. You have to type it in cause the cmd doesn't let you copy.
Once information pops up, there should be Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . . . . :XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
That is your ip address FOR THE ROUTER.
Also, remember the IP ADRESS for you will need it.
Once you have it, open up an internet brower and put your ip adress in the adress bar.
Ok now you are up to the forwarding part.
I have no idea which router you have, but go to an option that says virtual server, ports, forwarding ETC. It varies on which router you have. There should be boxes you can fill out. Ok here are the ports.
5121-5122 TCP & UDP
6121-6122 TCP & UDP
6900-6901 TCP & UDP
For your description, just write RO1, RO2 .... RO6.
Remeber how i said to remember the IP ADRESS? Well you need it now. Get the last digit of your ip adress and pop it into the box. If you have to write the hold thing, then do it!
And in private port, just put in the same port in inbound port!
So here is an example ...
Enable: Yes
Description: RO1
Inbound Port: 5121 - 5122
Type: TCP
Private Ip Adress: XXX.XXX.X.3
Private Port: 5121 - 5122
Thats the first one except i would do another one but change the TCP to UDP.
Now save and your done!
