Port Forwarding (need help)

I bought Men of War - Assault Squad and it seems i need to forward some ports in my router, reading this article

but im puzzled, what am i supposed to write in the "Redirection Port" field ?



Can anyone help me out?

Do NOT buy games you do not know how to set up, if there is the slightest doubt the game should not be bought. If you buy a game and you cant set up the router i WILL laugh at you, and so will everyone else playing Men of War - Assault Squad.

^^^Boy, that was a lot of help...

check this out, it might help

I'm sure someone here knows how to forward the ports without you having to spend $30 on a program that does it for you.

I don't know how to setup ANY game I buy. I can assume the process, but I do not KNOW it. Most of them have a fairly streamlined process, so one having a complex setup process is definitly out of the norm.

And about the "i WILL laugh at you" comment...so? Sigmer is one of our techier users, so if he has a problem setting it up, I would imagine so would most users.

solved! u enter the same as in the From Port / To Port fields. thx to those who posted helpful info

I will say that this is generally true that the outside ports should be the same as the inside ports, but there are cases where you want to forward port x on the internet to port y on your PC to avoid conflicts. That is very unusual though.

Also, port 80 is an odd port to forward for a game. It is the standard port for http and is usually only forwarded when you have a web server running inside your protected zone. What you have just done is put your PC as the default handler for http requests from the internet. So if I can find your public IP, I can get into your PC http service using it.

Ah thx 4 the info. removing port 80 again
