Rogue Spear and Cable Router

[bronto]

I know some people have gotten around their cable routers and are able to host fine now, and i want to do the same. My router is SoHoware and i'm told i can't disable the firewall on it. Someone said something about opening ports. Can anyone instruct me on how to do this (how to on pc, also if you know )

This thread may or may not help. I'm not sure.

Most routers have the option to configure with a web browser.  For example, my Linksys router's configuration page can be accessed with http://192.168.1.1.  This is probably the same for yours.  If not, your router's IP can be seen in the TCP/IP control panel (mac or pc) as gateway, router, etc.  

Now, you will want to check out the manual for the bastard here:  http://www.sohoware.com/serv/downloads.htm.

I'm guessing you have the BroadGuard Router - NBG800(it's the only router there).  In the manual, there are sections that explain about DMZ and port fowarding... READ THEM OR DIE!!

Which port(s) to foward if you choose NOT to use DMZ?
Here's a list for all of the GR-hosted game ports: http://gameranger.com/help/ports/.  If you need PC game ports... well too fucking bad.

Hope this helps... beyotch.

Yea, and if u forgot ur password u cant do anything  

But jo is right, if u go to the router prefs u can open different ports. For RS it is 2346 (hope this is right) as u prolly noticed...

Mb we can do it together on GR sometimes? dunno if i really can help u, but we could try
