OS: Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I know, I know. I'm a noob. But I can't find anything that'll work for me to port forward my Mac so I can play MBP 1.50. Is there any kind of guide or maybe another user here can tell me what to do?
HiGuy said in the webchat that port forward is only needed for hosting, so I don't think I'll need that anymore. But I'll keep the link, and I'll leave this open in case there's some other things users might want to link to.
We only need to forward UDP traffic, not TCP, correct? I make this assumption based on trial & error, so if this could be clarified in the official instructions, that would be very helpful.
@Edward: Port forwarding is different for every router, you should look at the page Don.Gato posted to find out how to port forward for your router. It doesn't matter which OS you're using.
@Sporlo: I've looked at the output data, and it seems that only UDP traffic is sent. It still would be a good idea to forward TCP as well.
There's a guide for Portforwarding at portforward.com. Once on the site, click on Portforwarding guides under "Routers" . This page will pop up and it will list all of the routers you can do this with. Click on your router make. Then follow the on-screen instructions.
You do realize this topic is 8 months old. The poster never posted back to tell us if the issues were resolved. However, your post does somewhat pertain to the topic in hand. Please try to not bump old topics.
Locked.
