Port Forwarding: guides for beginners and the inexperienced

Port Forwarding: guides for beginners and the inexperienced

from Demigod Forums

I hope this can get pinned as I believe it will help alot of those who are a little new to their firewalls, or have never touched them.

http://www.portforward.com/

In short:

1. find your firewall model and select it from the list. (most DSL customers it is your modem)

2. Select the program you want to setup a forward for ( as this post demigod has not been added, but I already submitted a request to get it done)

- alternatively -

after you select your model look for a link that says "Default Guide" in orange in about the middle of the page. This will give you walkthrough of how to do it.

PS : if you are in the western US and have QWEST please note that they use a custom firmware. I am sure this is similar for most ISP's. Find your model and read through the walk through, it should give you enough of an idea of what you need to do.

As  good measure I would go to (default install path) C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Demigod\bin\ImpulseReactorOptions.exe and make sure you input the values 6100 - 6200

Also a post I had answered on doing multiple users behind the firewall wanting to play is at http://forums.demigodthegame.com/350619

A friendly post with a not so friendly title XD

portforward.com is a must acess when it comes to beginner port forwarding. I understand  almost nothing about networking, but i was able to successfully set it up in the past.

Thanks for posting

You should also note that Portforward.com does NOT have a guide for Demigod currently up - at least not one that I can find - and so the ports required to be forwarded are:

UDP 6073 and UDP Range 6100-6200.

Portforward.com also has a Port Checker program that will test if your ports are open.
