Answer #1

Hi,

I have a Linksys so I haven’t done it with Mikrotik. However, the concept should be the same.

First, logon to your router (for me it was just my IP address, then admin as username and password). Then, you want to click on something like “Fowarding” or “Applications and Gaming” and it will have spaces for you to put in your IP address and the ports you want to forward. If your game uses port 5654, then put that in as the port to forward.

Good luck.

Answer #2

Hi

Thanx, but that is exactly my problem. I don’t have options like “forwarding” or “Applications and Gaming” Nothing even similar. believe me, I’ve checked all the possibilities and I’m sure I’ll kick myself when once I know how to do it.
