Ok, I tried putting empire in the beginning steps but that did nothing. So here's my system specs. 866 pentium 3. Windows XP Home edition. No routers as far as I know. (My dad does most of the network stuff) DSL internet connection. (356K) The firewall type I don't know. I read somewhere that XP has a built in firwall. Do I have to disable that one? If so any of ya'll know how to do that? To open the ports, does it just have to be ONLY ports 6716 and 6720? Or every port in between? (i.e. 6716, 6717, 6718, 6719, 6720). And they have to forward 'Both' protocols (udp and tcp)? Is that correct?


Disable the internal XP firewall on the Host, see previous posting for instructions.

Just the two ports are needed, I did a range because it was easier to do that. Configure for both TCP and UDP.
