Unfortunately for most of these routers you'll have to specify an IP
address, the one that is assigned to your computer by the router. That way
those ports are only forwarded for your computer's IP. Yes, you'll have to
change this number if your IP changes. Unless you set up your router in a
static server format.
HTH, D!J!X!

Subject: port forwarding by a router
I have a program that I am trying to install that requires 2 ports to be
forwarded in my wireless router. I did this with no trouble.
I also opened an exception for this program on my firewall, specify the same
protocol (UDP).
But when I run a firewall test it keeps failing.
Can anyone think of something else I'm not doing, or am doing wrong?
Thanx
