Port Forwarding

Vice · 11-15-2006, 10:16 PM

Well I need to forward some ports for various game which won't let me play online because my router blocks some of the ports that they use to go online. I went through some guides to help me with this and I set up a static IP on my computer and also tried to forward the required ports but it seems that the ports are still not forwarded. The only reason I can think that it is not working is that I might be entering the wrong IP and I am entering the IP that I got when I set up a static IP.

My router is a Belkin F5D7633-4, I have tried to contact Belkin about this but there is no reply so far and was hoping that I could get more luck on these forums.
