Hi Trixta,

After a bit of research I came accross this which looks like it covers pretty much everything you need. If not, let us know and I can talk you through it some more.

yo thanks scouse but i dnt see my netgear model there and i went to my 192.168.0.1 but it didnt have the same options u rekon u could help thanks ?

You can try PortForward.com (http://portforward.com/) although I didn't see your router listed there either.

However they have a small applet you can download that will take screenshots of your router admin pages and then hopefully they will be able to make a guide for it. I used to them to set up port forwarding for uTorrent, but there ended up being an issue with my ISP which they couldn't resolve.

Nonetheless, they were very patient and helpful.

i found that this is my model on the site 'DG834G' the exact link for the game guide that i want to forward is here http://portforward.com/english/route...ter_Strike.htm

but i tried to do it and it still dont work please any suggestions ?

PLEASE PLEASE could someone help me ???
