Microsoft Router and playing games online

[Ru]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

Does anyone know how to set up the router for online
games. (If someone is hosting a game (Call of Duty) and
people want to connect to the game via IP addres)

Your help is much appreciated!!!!

If you want to act as the host, you are going to have to find out what ports
you need to forward to your computer.

This is something that you'd have to do for most routers (unless the game
can use UPnP to open ports).
