One might assume a player can find his own router if he can assign ports to be forwarded. The usual hurdle is not knowing what the address of the router's external port is (WAN port in some documentation). That is usually DHCP and assigned by the ISP on connection. Which is why you need an external query service such as whatismyip.com. It can't be done from your machine using ipconfig.

The ports to be forwarded have different protocols. Make sure you have 4000 as TCP and 6112-6119 as UDP.

Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
