Opening Ports on a router

_keith_ · #1 Dec 27, 2005, 04:18 PM

Have just upgraded to ADSL and tried to access a couple of game sites but when I try to enter a game am refused admission (did all the normal things register etc). Have been told by the SITE that I need to OPEN THE PORTS on my router. I have no idea what they are talking about and was advised to go to a site called portforward.com and bring up my particular brand of router from this site and follow the directions. (I tried this to no avail) My brand of router is D-Link DSL-G604T OPSys XP and I know my ISP set me up with a Dynamic IP. Any help would be appreciated.
