Basically, you only need to forward a port if there are non-established incoming connections (if you're hosting a server, for instance). That's a simplistic overview, but it should give you an idea.


I'll do some research on the router when I have more time.
I would really really appreciate that. The router had a built in firewall for IPV4 and IPV6 (don't really know what either means) but I disabled them to be sure. Checked to see if ports could be seen after that and still no dice.

I also noticed that it had NAT enabled on the router. I remember trying to game on my PS3 and having the best results when NAT type was open, so I tried disabling that and it killed my internet connection completely.

Thank you so, so much for your help. My dad and I are dying to get back to playing. We had just started raiding together with our bots help and were having a blast before I moved.
