I want to open the ports on my Belkin router so that I can play Madden 05 CE online through the router. Only problem is I don't know how to find the ports. I did a google and searched the eagames website, but found nothing.
I could also just put my PS2 in the DMZ, if I only could figure out the PS2's IP address. I don't know how to do that either. The router doesn't show the IP's of the computer connected it to it, and it assings the ips from a pool of 39 numbers.
sorry -Stops- I cant help with this one, but my friend is running his PS2 and his cable modem off the same router without going into configurations. Pretty much plug n play.

Grab a good firewall and the firwall will tell you real fast what ports are being used :)

1. The router should show -- thats the whole point of the router
2. The router has access to at least 256 and more likely at least 65536 IPs ... if you have 39 then there are already some issues
3. What model router? What firmware rev?
4. Now that I see you have a Linksys, it's there
5. If its only 39 numbers, trial and error
