Setting Up Router And Modem For Gaming

[gedds1993]

Hey guys im new here and you can read all about me in my intro but basically put I want to make sure my NAT is no longer in strict mode. I changed what I thought should fix it on my router and well....it didn't so I'd Love some help and also probably some suggestions to how i should change my settings or have it setup in the first place for optimum gaming. My modem is a century link modem 660 series model: EQ-660R ADSL. My modem is a netgear wireless g router model: WGR614v9.

 

If anyone can help with configuring these things properly or just help in general I would greatly appreciate it!

If your router supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) you can use this option so that the game you're playing opens the ports automatically.

This is helpful, if you don't know the ports which should be opened. I used this option for Call of Duty MW2 and 3 successful and the NAT mode

switched from "strict" to "open".

 

For security reason:

You should minimze the game and go to your router's webinterface and see whicht ports are opened by the game. (The ports should be listed under "UPnP").

Then set a MANUAL port forwarding to your local IP address and DEACTIVATE UPnP. Otherwise crappy programs like Malware, Trojans are able open ports on your router too.

@ damage_inc:

 

 

The spell check doesn't work in any textfield. Mozilla says:

Note: The automatic spell checking is enabled only in multiline text fields. Single-line input fields (such as the box in search engines) are not checked.

 

I think is caused by the editor here in the forums. My check doesn't work too.
