Playing behind a firewall

[Nosaj]

Does anyone know how to open the ports in a Linksys router to play Jedi?

 

I have the port numbers from lucasarts but I am confused as to where to put them.

Run: winipcfg

 

Note the last set of numbers in the ip.

 

Type in the following in your Web Address Bar: 192.168.1.1

 

Then, when the box pops up, type Admin in the passwords box. (it might not be admin. if you changed it, enter the pw)

 

Click on the orange advanced tab on the upper right.

 

Click on the forwarding tab, second from the left.

 

Enter the numbers for the ports you wish to open in the ext. port text boxes. Check the right boxes to the right (I usually do both if I'm not sure).

 

Be sure to click the enable checkbox to the right.

 

Where it says 192.168.1.____, put in the blank spot the numbers you noted when you hit winipcfg.

 

That should work. In WinXP, it's a little harder to find our your IP address (winipcfg), so if someone could clue me in to that, I'd appreciate it.

You have to run ipconfig in a DOS window.
