playing WR over a router, what ports do I open?

[Yally]

Hi guys, I just bought a wireless router for my DSL. The problem I am having is that when I zone I crash, about 75% of the time anyways. I checked for a firewall and dissabled it, that didn't help. The other thing that i tried was going right into my router through some kind of http://###.###.## type deal. I went to something like virtual servers, and from a dropdown list i selected everquest. That added three new "ports" to my list but then when i clicked save changes it said that I need to fill in the "private IP address" boxes that where on my list. I looked and for the new everquest ports that were automatically added, everything was filled in except for the private IP address boxes, 3 of them. I have no idea what to put in these boxes, they hold 2 or 3 digits I guess. That is a lot less than my computers IP address, also, I dont know what computers IP address to put in the boxes, if i knew how to put it in correctly lol..

Basically, if anyone can help a newbie router-ist connect through eq, I would really appreciate some help with it. if it helps at all I use a Paradyne ReachDSL model router. Thanks so much!

Your private ip adress, that is the ip that the router gives you on your local net, ie like : 192.168.1.35, to check what it is, go to start -> run -> (type) cmd (enter), (in the command window type) ipconfig.
Now the ip-adress that shows there is your private ip adress that your router gave you, fill that in and you're done
Why the router want this is because it wants to know to what computer (if you have more than 1 in the network) to transfer the data that comes to that port, IF you however do this and have more than 1 computer in your network you will not be able to play everquest on any other computer because you redirect ALL trafic on that port to a certain computer.
