Hello all.
I´ve just got a new router (D-link DI 604) and im using it to share my internet conection with another computer.
The problem is: I cant host anymore. Well I can, people join the room on GSA but when game launches they dont join. GSA says its due to the router, which is causing my internal IP to be diferent from my external one. Any sugestions of how to fix it will be welcome.

Forward these ports:

UDP Ports 15000-16375 (Must be forwarded to host)
UDP Port 8911 (Must be forwarded for the game to appear on Gamespy)
TCP/UDP Port 19711 (Must be forwarded to permit players to join a game)

Everything should work properly if you have done that.

Here are the private IP adresses that routers use:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

Yours is one of those in a particular range from 0-255. Just.. here, read up.

Will those ports work just for D-Link routers or can we use them on other routers?

Is there like a limit of ports one can foward? To foward all the ports i needed to play Warcraft III I had to remove some of the router's preset configurations.. Cuz it kept saying that it couldnt add more entries.. and i had used about 20 of them only.. Port range didnt work at all...

There is no defined limit, but your router may have one.

My router has a limit of ten, but from what I've read and seen that's unusually low. I had to flash some third party firmware to it to get around that, which may be an option for you too if you run into that kind of problem.
