How do I set up port forwarding to play online games

Print E-mail

A question we are often asked is how do I set up my router to play "Son Of Gragh 4" or whatever the latest game is. This sometimes involves a technique called "port forwarding".

We'd love to claim to be the expert on this but we would be lying as there is already a superb site on the internet called PortFoward.Com. They have everything you could ever want to know about setting up port forwarding on all types of routers including the Huawei models that TalkTalk supply.

They introduce themselves better than we could so here is their introduction page, pay them a visit by clicking here.

PortForward.com is proud to offer help setting up port forwarding on your router or firewall. Many Internet users are not aware of how to configure their router or firewall in order to use applications like Peer-to-Peer file sharing (PtoP), Internet Games, Web serving, FTP serving, WebCams, IRC DDC, and Instant Messaging such as AIM, ICQ, Yahoo and MS Messenger.

Our Routers section offers detailed walkthroughs on how to setup port forwarding. These how to guides make it easy to setup your router or firewall for any application you may need.

Routers can be tough to configure. Our Help and FAQ page gives general tips and definitions. These can help if you can't connect to your router, or are unsure of some of the terms on this page. If you do not know exactly what you are doing or are having problems, Start Here.

Try our Common Ports ports page if you need to know what ports are required by a commonly used software application. We will be adding more to this section soon! If you would like to submit ports used by a common software application, please send that information to us using our Requests page.
