It should be needless to activate the port forwarding, because the client behind the router opens the port/connection to the server. All transferred data goes through this opened port.
If the server would connect to the client, THEN you would need the port forwarding.
lovely save I am in China... and the only way I get to do anything to a router is by having the official here. Since he is coming in a few minutes, I might as well.
So, since I know every port is closed now anyway from other software reports, and I lag up the wazoo, I guess this is the only option I have left to try.
