Interesting. To resolve the port issues after getting tired and searching for ports for various apps, games, and servers, I opened 64000 ports from port 100, this effectively opening all ports. No problems in hosting any game thereafter. Opening all ports will disable NAT which will disable internet access.

A simple solution, caused mainly by the M1122 in a previous version opnly supporting I think 12 port ranges, hence I ran out of options to add more ranges for more apps.

The m1122 has probs severing some games, like DeltaForce, on the net, It is
due to how the firmware is written for the NAT. I spent many months with
general BS from Nokia, went thru 3 supplied units. Was not until supplied
them with logs/analysis they conceded. They even proved it would serve from
their labs and I joined, I was told by reliable source later they didn't use
my m1122 to do it as they said.
I was also told by their chief Techy honcho he and knowone there had ever
played with a Cisco hmmm?
I now run a Cisco 827 fine, and also the Asus 6000 also works fine severing
games. Also there's lots of guys using Linksys routers
