Port Forward Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn

Before You Forward a Port
Before you can forward a port you need to know the following things:
- Your router's IP address.

How To Forward Ports

The process for forwarding a port is generally:
- Start by logging in to your router.
- Find your routers port forwarding section.
- Put the IP address of your computer or gaming console in the correct box in your router.
