Comment: Hi my name is Kevin. I have a question about Port Forwarding. How would you forward port 28500 or 25800 to 192.168.0.14? I am playing Tony Hawk 3 and trying to create a server but everytime I do create a server a message appears that says "Your server was not posted due to Firewall setiings. Please forward port... Can anyone help me. Thanks KaK

Reply: (edit)It helps if you t4ell us what firewall you're working with. However, a couple of suggestions: - In the firewall configuration menu there's almost always a Port Forwarding screen that tells the firewall what port number(s) to forward to which IP Address. The default is no port forwarding. Usually you just type in the port numbers and across from those is the IP Address these are to be forwarded to. - When port forwarding, the client has to use a FIXED, rather than request ana default IP Address. If one address is fixed on your LAN then ideally you should configure all clients with fixed addresses for ease of management but if that's not feasible put the fixed client at an address outside the normal range that the other clients would request from the LAN. You're using 192.168.0.14; I assume there aren't 14 devices on your LAN so that sounds OK.
