How to play behind a router
If you use a router, you would not be able to play/host unless you foward spacific ports.
Routers like linksys and netgear have a admin panel located in http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1
For other brands refer to you manuel.
Once in the control panel, find a page named "Port Fowarding" Or something close to that, you should get a list of boxes to enter numbers in.
First foward 4377 (You may have to enter 4377 to 4377) to play.
Second foward 6500, and lastly 28900.
Once you enabled those 3 ports, you should be able to play on gamespy without diffucatly. Remember, firewall and a router are two differnt things.

Welll.. that would be right, but you can simply 'open' (unblock) the specific ports 
Specialy when using a router on a small nerdwork
Unless you are, say, a nerdwork administrator, and you wanna play yourself, but not grant access to others ...
It that case you can use port-forwarding to your own computer
Or in case of a specific hosting server or sumthing 
(be sure to inform me bout that )
HAHA, yep, I know!! It 's done for security reasons, sure!
What else you need a firewall for eh!?
Im talking bout the small, home nerdwork thingies here

You cant unblock ports, a router needs to know where to route the traffic to, if u haev two pcs, and unblock a port, it doest know where to send the traffic, this ofcourse doest matter for outgoing connections

Hmm.. aren 't you talking about a bridge or switch here?
A router routes networks, It looks at the 3rd osi layer & routes the packets given the info it found in that layer.
Or:
It routes the packets from 1 network to the network wich matches the IP adress it found in the 3rd OSI layer..
It simply connects 2 networks together, 2 different Ip ranges that otherwise couldn 't connect..
Oow Yes, its a smart thingy
If a router doesn 't know where to send the packets its not a router.
Or if the packets dont contain the Ip adress, they 're not TCP/IP packets
In the case of online gaming, the packets travell using specific ports.
If the packets "come in" on a specific port, the router still knows where to send them..
'Cos the info is still in the packets
It changes off course, when the other ( who joins ) doesn 't know the exact IP adress of the host.
Then the request is made on the specific port & only that or those ports, then u can use forwarding......
It simply forwards all traffic that comes in on ports "such & so" to Ip adress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Hey,
you guys sound knowledgable, maybe you could help me.
I am using a microsoft wired base station to network my pc's and I can't play Heroes 3 in multiplayer on my network.I always get an error connecting to that session message.
I switched the operating mode to bridging instead of routing and it worked for a few hours but then we lost the connection and I had to reset the base station to get things working again. It seems like there has to be a better way. Will port forwarding work with playing on a network also?
