Alright-
I'm sure I'm not the only one on this forum who doesn't understand the full concept of port-forwarding and all that stuff...
Could someone please give a step-by-step explaination from start to finish of how to build and play a working multiplayer arena? I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience of it all, but hey, what can I say? I'm a noob. Anybody's help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Well it depends on your router type. All routers have different buttions to click on to open the menu to port forward. Id suggest calling your router provider for the how to. An as for a port number, normaly u want to use a off the wall number like 8892 or something that has no real meaning. Something like 20, 80, 120 etc those have meaning lol 20 I belive is FTP(File Transfer Protocol) 80 TCP(Internet) and 120Mail(SMTP) commonly. Id steer clear of those ports. There are a few others but I dont think you'll encounter those.
