How to Port Forward Sid Meier's Civilization II
When you are playing Sid Meier's Civilization II you might need to forward some ports in your router. Forwarding ports is a useful trick in gaming because it can really help to make your network connection most stable and intermittently even faster. Routers were not designed to allow incoming network requests and some games can play tremendously better if an incoming connection is forwarded through the router to the game.
Before You Forward a Port
Before you can forward a port you need to know the following things:
- Your router's IP address.
- Your gaming machine's IP address.
- The TCP and UDP ports to forward.

- Open a web browser and navigate to your router's IP address.
- Find your routers port forwarding section.
