I have a buddy who is trying to play Asherons Call through the MS Gaming
Area.

he is using a Broadband Modem Sharing Device that has a built in "NAT"
controls and a level of fire walling..

He has the ability to pit on those "pin holes" but is confused re the
addressing to use. As I don't know Asherons Call I have no idea what to
suggest.

According to Microsoft's Product Support web site the following is
recommended
Initial UDP Outbound - IP Address 207.46.204.* - Port(s) 9000
Subsequent UDP Outbound - IP Address 207.46.204.* - Port(s) 9000, 9008,9012
Subsequent UDP inbound - IP Address 207.46.204.* - Port(s)
9000,9001,9004,9005,9008,9009,9012,9013

However the Sharing Device configuration software asks for the following
info:

Name (that is a common name so easy)
Enable (Yes or No ) (again obvious)
IP Address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Internal Port Number XXXX (i.e. 9000)
External Port Number XXXX (i.e. 9000)

OK the issue is that the Microsoft Site has a * as the 4th set of digits in
the ip address.
What is the appropriate number here as no number is given.. Any ideas?
