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.
