I can't tell you what ports it uses - but I can tell you how to find out what they are (if you are running Windows XP and maybe Win2K):

1. Start FoF and start a remote game where you are the host. This will cause FoF to start listening on a TCP/IP port.

2. Open the Task Manager (press Ctrl-Alt-Delete or right click on a blank area of the task bar and select Task Manager from the shortcut menu). Select the "Processes" tab to see a list of all the processes running on the computer (don't confuse this with running programs - each program will most likely be running multiple processes - not to mention the OS itself). Finally, click on "View" then "Select Columns..." and click the checkbox for "PID (Process Identifier)". Find the process for Forge of Freedom.exe and get the PID.

3. Open a command prompt and type the following command: "netstat -a -o". This will list all the TCP/IP ports that are in use and all the ones that are "listening". The listening ports are ones that are waiting for a client to connect. You might want to copy the output to a text file for easier reference.

4. The last column will list a number up to 4 digits long (ok - it could be longer I suppose - but I've never seen it). This number is the process ID or PID. Locate the TCP/IP port that cooresponds to the PID from step 2. These are the ports that Forge of Freedom uses.

Good Luck.

I think the ports you need to follow are:

47624 - 47624
and
2300 - 2400

These are standard ports used by DirectPlay, as far as I understand. I think someone has already posted this somewhere. Do a search and find out for certain.

Doh. Just typed up an answer to your IP message on the main board and touched on port forwarding... but it appears you had already discovered what you'd need. :-)
