Hello.
I have an Ethernet card that plugs directly into my dsl modem. I read that we need access to ports 2000-6000. I'm not getting discoed or anything, but I am wondering if my IP connection is set up as it should be. I typed my default gateway in the address bar and, Oh My!, that's a can of worms on that page. :lol I don't see anything that says the modem has a firewall. This is what I see in the nat/gaming section:
Service Name IPSEC ALG
Type Port Forwarding
Port 1
Protocol TCP/UDP
Global Port(s) 500
Base Host Port 500
Port 2
Protocol TCP/UDP
Global Port(s) 500
Base Host Port 500
Do I need to fool with any of this, or are the ports needed getting threw automatically? Actually, I know so little about this IP stuff that I am struggling to even find questions to ask about it all. So any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very very much. Clutz

If your DSL connection is through a modem and not a router, you do not have to do anything with the ports. The DSL modem is a dumb device, with no firewall.

Not true, my DSL modem has an extremely strong firewall. So strong, it asks for the computer name, not it's IP address.

I have a Linksys wireless G Broadband Router.
I have a Port Range Forward and a Port Triggering section.
I need to know what ports and where to open them for host server/s online, 8 player, or LAN.
I tried without any port mod, first and the server showed in the list of servers, but couldn't be joined.
BTW, I ask because I don't know or couldn't find what ports AH2 Server need open.
I have no problem join other peoples servers.
Any help will be appreciated, ahead of time.
Thanks!!!
