Hosting Problems
Let's all try to get through our router/firewall problems so that we can be alternate hosts in case Shelt's PC goes down. There are a few posts in the EU forums about the ports that have to be unblocked and the procedures for doing so.
I've seen these port ranges: 2300-2400, 28800-29000, 47400-4700, 1630-1638. I don't think you have to unblock all of them, just one set. I'm not sure if there is a specific set for EU:R that is different from the other EU games.
In my router, I have an option for allowing specific protocols for specific ports. The problem is that the generic protocols don't match what I think we need (TCP forwarding), and the list of game-specific protocols does not include any of the Paradox titles.
