Windows Firewall Settings

I play alot of internet games. When I host a games,others cannot find my
server. Is there more exceptions that need to be turned on in firewall
settings, such as peer to peer collaboration,ect? Also, Do I need to add the
ports for the game into the exceptios? I am using a router with the ports
open thru it, and my games exe. is checked in the exceptions tab.

(which means it is unprotected) OR assign it a static IP and do port
forwarding for games that require specific TCP/UDP ports. All of these
actions except for assigning the static IP are done on the router, not
the operating system. Refer to your router manual for details.
