[mohaa] router ports?

[Luca Fabbro]

The minimum configuration that you need is PAT for the listening port of 
the server but you also need to do NAT for the machine running the server 
for other ports (don't remember wich ones :( in my config I NAT all the 
ports of that machine except for calls inside LAN.) If you just PAT the 
listening port you'll be able to connect but server won't be listed in 
gamespy (To play you need to know the ip of the fierwall of course)
If your firewall is blocking anything from outside to that machine remember 
also to open ports above 1024 from the outside to the game server because 
if you have all the ports locked there's no way for players to join as once 
connected to the player is given a new play port.
