Hello, My name is Bernard. i have used several languages to make a game i have created. i would like to alow freinds to play this game simple by downloading a client and having a file with all the code. i believe the best way to do so is to port forward my router. i have had no training in changing ports in my router and would like to learn or to have this question answered ASPA. I made the code with python. i belive i need to forward 8888 and 7777.

This has nothing to do with game programming.

What router do you have? I suggest you check the manual for how to access the admin panel.

okay the following should work
Login->Feature Setup->Port Configuration->then input the app name->then port 8888 to 8888->protocol set as both-> then enter the ip of the game server->then repeat the process on the next line but change the ports to 7777.

hope this helps

Your router came with documentation. It will show you how to logon.

Chances are you will need to open a web browser, go to http://192.168.0.100 or http://192.168.0.1, & sign in with no username & a password of adamin, or maybe it's user id root password admin. Again, all of this is found in the documentation. Once logged in you can find where to forward the ports by following the previous instructions.

It's going to take a lot more than port forwarding if you don't have a static IP.

If you open the command line and type in ipconfig then look for default gateway this will give you the ip of your router, type this into a browser and then login, the default login is comcast and 1234

best way to do it is make your program use port 80
i think its 80 or 88

80 i think

80 is always open msn uses port 80
