I didn't see any specific threads on just GAMEFUEL, and I have questions.
First, how the heck do I set up a GAMEFUEL RULE?
LOCAL IP RANGE---?
LOCAL PORT RANGE---?
REMOTE IP RANGE---?
REMOTE PORT RANGE---?
I can figure out the priority, protocol, and LOCAL IP but what the heck do I put for the rest? REMOTE IP, how the heck am I supposed to know that for a P2P host type game(COD4).
Anyway, help me out fella's.

The remote IP will be anybody in theory in your example so the range of 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255 is appropriate. sometimes you will have more specific endpoints in mind (like the IP of your favorite FTP server), then you would need a more specific remote IP.
I know you said you can cover the others but I will put a short description fo each here for future reference.
Local IP Range: The PC or network that should receive the prioritization. This can be a single IP if you need 1 PC to have priority or can be your entire network if you are more interested in traffic type for instance.
Local Port Range: This will be 0-65535 in all practical examples.
Remote IP Range: See Above. This will usually be 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255 as you usually do not know exactly who will be receiving your prioritized traffic. However if you had a favorite FTP server or some scenario like that you could put something more specific here.
Remote Port Range: The destination port, this is the port that you be given if your application lists that it uses ports x,y,z TCP and a-c UDP for outgoing traffic.
I hope this helps.
