Need to open more Ports but no more slots

[farfignugen]

So I got this online game (BF2142) and it requires a lot of ports to be opened, I went into the linksys setup (192.168.1.1), disabled the firewall, disabled the "deny anonymous internet requests" checkbox, and started adding all the ports that need to be forwarded. Problem is I need 13 or 14 slots to open all the ports needed yet there's only 10 available on the Port Forwarding page, anyone know how to add beyond the 10?

Thanks for any thoughts!

Oh I'm playing on a desktop which is through wireless, and I set up the router using a laptop since I don't have that long of a cable... shouldn't make a difference right? Since I designated the IP to my desktop and I set my desktop IP to be static.

instead of doing each slot as a port, try to setup a range that encompasses multiple ports.

if not, im pretty sure dd-wrt adds more ports. and no, it doesnt matter where you configured it from, just that the ip address is right.

Uh... to PLAY you shouldn't need to open any ports. To SERVE/HOST you will need to open ports. Are you actually running a server hosting games, or are you just trying to connect to public servers?

just trying to play, I figured, but out of the box it definitely doesn't play for me....
