PORT FORWARD AND TRIGGER
How to find your IP address in windows xp!
Here's How:
1. Click the Start menu button on the Windows taskbar.
2. Click Run... on this menu.
3. Type cmd in the text box that appears. A command prompt window launches on the desktop.
4. In this command window, type ipconfig /all. Details are shown for each of the computer's network adapters. Computers installed with VPN software or emulation software will possess one or more virtual adapters.
5. The IP Address field states the current IP address for that network adapter.
6. The Physical Address field states the MAC address for that adapter.
Tips:
1. Take care to read the IP address from the correct adapter. Virtual adapters generally show a private address rather than an actual Internet address.
2. Virtual adapters possess software-emulated MAC addresses and not the actual physical address of the network interface card.
Add these:
1. Port Forward Range: Application=47624 start=2300 end=2400
Both of these are Protocol TCP & UDP and don't forget to enable
2. Port Triggering: Application=GameSpy
Triggered Range: Start=6500 End=6700
Forwarded Range: Start=6500 End=6700
3. Enable DMZ
