395933 2005-10-14 00:16:00 I've always been able to play online using my internal PCI adsl modem, but this D-Link DSL-302G won't allow a peer to peer connection after meeting up in a central server.

I've looked at this page (www.dlink.com.au) but can't figure what I need to read. I know from my brother that certain ports or "pinholes?" have to be opened, but that's about it.

Any advice please? (I also read something about port-forwarding... is this what I need to find out how to do?)

Eg I just been reading this page (www.portforward.com) but wondered if this oesn't open up any security gaps.

What servers?
And do you know what ports you need to open?
