Opening ports for games ?

Hi

I have a D-Link 604 router on Blueyonder.

I wish to Play C&C Generals Online , amongst other games.

I need to open TCP Ports 80,6667,28910,29900,29920
and UDP Ports 4321,27900

I could set this up quite easy with my old US Robotics Router.
But I just cant figure out the settings in the menu for the D-Link !!!
Just me I guess :)
I even tried setting my computer as a DMZ to allow full access to the net
but no joy...
I link to games but as soon as I play i lose conection ???


I am using Windows XP SP2

You're welcome

Generally speaking, you do not need to open any ports to play the games, you
only need to open ports to host game servers. If you set the machine in the
DMZ and it still doesn't work, I would look elsewhere for the problem. Do
you have WinXP's firewall turned off? Do you have the dLink firewall turned
off?

FWIW, dlink routers have a well earned reputation for being troublesome when
it comes to online games, you would have been better off with a Linksys or
even a Netgear.
