I have a DGL-4500 and i would like to know how to set up both of the computers i use while playing wow to utilize all the gaming ports that wow uses, i did try the game fuel thing and it says that those predetermined ports can only be used by one computer is there a way i can set it up so both computers can use the necessary ports?

Are you hosting any of the games on either PC or trying to connect to the Blizzard Servers for gaming? Not sure if you can have more than one host per network. I presume that if one PC was to host, that you would set that up in the Gaming in the router then the 2nd pc should be able to connect to the host with out making any changes for the 2nd PC in the router. If your using the blizzard servers and connecting to them then you would use the GameFuel settings for each PC.

Hope this might help. Definitely interested on getting more info on this for the Gaming and Gamefuel sticky. Let me know.

Look into port triggering versus port forwarding. (Advanced\Special Applications)

Ya u dont actually host the game on your own computer all u do is install the game on your computer and connect to blizz servers via user name and password. I was refering to the Advanced/Gaming side i do realize that the game world of warcraft is in there and the necessary ports are correct but i cannot enable it to more then one computer which is what im actually trying to figure out how to do.So i hope this extra info helps.

Out of curiosity have you tried not using port forwarding for WOW?  My two roommates both play it at the same time and I didn't have to forward anything for it to work.

Just thought I throw this out there..

Both people on your LAN can play WoW without doing any port forwarding whatsoever.  The only thing that port forwarding buys you...

a) slightly faster patch updates since you will be allowing inbound Torrent connections
b) the ability to use the WoW in-game voice chat (which is UDP-based)

Personally I would recommend not doing any port forwarding at all.  The game runs perfectly fine without it, patch updates are always slow anyway, and I don't know anyone who uses the in-game voice chat (everyone uses either Ventrilo and TeamSpeak for voice).

Might come in hand for some PC gamers:
