Then you open the specific game ports on the firewall. Then you go into the virtual server settings (port forwarding) and input the specific ports the game uses and direct the data directly through to your computer's IP adddress for a direct connection and bypassing the NAT firewall. That will allow you to host games because they can get a direct connection to your computer. Whereas cheap routers/ adsl modems you can't get a direct connection through the NAT. |

I see in other threads that you, Bootylicious, Phoenix etc all agree on that router. I looked at the spec sheet and it does seem well equipped. Not clear why one should pay $100+ more for a rival brand if not into games etc. Cheers T |
