Opening Ports

[Wilco]

Bah! I can't play America's Army because my firewall destroys my interent connection when I try to connect, how do I go about opening ports for my router and firewall?

hammer and chisle...or a diamond saw...easiest way to get through a wall...

[Wilco]

Yeah, I wish I could chissel my way through a firewall.

Well, I don't know what ports you need to open (I hope you do), but anyway, what company makes your router?

[Jack Mehoff]

I think you have to be more specific.

[Wilco]

I found out what I had to do and the bloody thing still won't work, oh well.

[Freibier]

Activate port forwarding for the port that AA wants.
If your not shure what port, install a personal firewall (kerio and sygate rock) and when AA wants to connect you get a notification with the port number.
Let me know what router you have and I can be more specific.

AA doesn't need port forwarding it works with my NAT without problem. Just turn off firewall if its yours(you prolly don't need one) or ask guy who runs it to allow comunication on higher/other than standard ports...
