Hosting issues with D-Link

Ok... I finally worked out some of my issues with my router (D-Link 604). However I'm still not able to host a game. I've been looking over the admin section for about an hour now and I still can't come up with how to open the correct ports.

Not to mention I closed the window where Cm LaForge told me which ports were to be opened for XWA. Anyway let me know if you know anything.

Ok.... I figured out how to allow programs to be used. Now I just need the "Trigger Port" and "Public Port" numbers? If you have them for any of our platforms could you post there here for me...

Mostly for:
XvT
XWA
JK III

How come people are always too lazy to search and?or think they are the first one with that problem in a club full of computer illeterates

Do a search for "ports" and thou shalt be enlightened

That is a search with the search engine of this very message board.

Wow Vort.... why didn't I think of that..... oh wait, two of those were messages that I posted myself! One was by Wedge and didn't help and the other was about making XvT port to a PDA (whatever that means). Maybe if they had the answer I was looking for I wouldn't be posting another question about it!

I am not lazy, I have googled the damn port thing all day and I can't find what I'm looking for. And yes I know someone may have been going through the same problem that I'm going through which is why I'm posting so that maybe someone that can actually help me might post something useful.

The instructions that the MS website gives are useless since XWA and XvT don't show up in the dxdiag program when I run it and it says that dxdiag will tell me which directX JK III is using but it doesn't (atleast that I can find) under the lobbyable games section.

So... if you actually have some help please post again, if not then stop telling me and everyone else how stupid I must be!

Don't try to beat me in being a smartass

A REAL search of PORTS (as I said) would have turned up a result that would link you to this thread:

If this doesn't help, then I do not know what you want.

Opps I put CL Wedge and I meant SFO Calder... anyway never mind I'm after going through some online manuals I've figured out a way around my problem and I've discovered that it works in a game against CM LaForge.
