Hi

I've been trying to set up me sky router to allow me to host SimSig games, without any luck!

Can anyone offer any guidence on how to do this please?

So far, with NoisyNoels help, I've changed the firewall settings (inbound and outbound) and added a new setting to allow tcp and udp ports on the SimSig settings.

Many Thanks in Advance

Presuming it is the normal Netgear interface, have you also created a "service" to allow SimSig to forward the relevant port to the connected computer (Left Hand Side of the Router Menu on 192.168.0.1 or whatever the Sky internal setting is, there is a Services entry to click on)?

Further to JG's posting, if it is the DG934G sky/Netgear router then a step by step guide to setting up port forwarding can be found at http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/DG934G/default.htm
