Online Game Port
« on: February 02, 2009, 06:16:07 PM »
Hi again. Im playing an online game, Is there anyway I can find out what port I need to forward to regarding that game? Its a private server so I cant find anywhere what port I need to forward to. And the GMs of that game are not answering me either. ^_^

Are you having trouble connecting to the game? Port forwarding is for connections coming from the outside in to you. When you connect to someone the connection is already made from you to them and port forwarding isn't normally needed.

When online games such as World of warcraft post their ports its mainly for people who have firewalls and need to open the ports to allow the connection through. People without firewalls and who just have routers don't normally need to port forward with online games.
