| Hi Jimmy,
|
| Well I followed the instructions in portforward.com. Chose my router and
| then followed the settings for AOE and for MSN Games. The numbers they used
| didn't seem to be all that similar to the ones listed here
| http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/PortRoute.html#ports. But since I didn't really
| know what I was doing, I didn't know what to do with the extra numbers. Would
| it be possible for you to compare the two pages and let me know some more
| specific things I would need to try?? My router appears to be the DSL 302G
| Ver 2 on the portforward website.
|
| I have also e-mailed my ISP, but not sure how useful they will be.
|
| Thanks
|
