Does anyone know what port forwarding might be needed for pso? i can't figure out why my linksys router keeps disconnecting and i think it's b/c the forwarding sucks and i need to do some specifying.
anyone had success with this?

Are you getting disconnects whenever you try to join a block with people on it, or if someone joins a game you started? I have the exact same problem. I've been told it was a problem with my DSL provider using PPPoE. I thought the router would take care of all the PPPoE crap, but people using the same brand of router as me(Linksys) have gotten it to work fine, if they are using DHCP. Are you using PPPoE? We may be out of luck.

If you want to experiment some though, I've heard the ports that PSO use are in the range of 40000-41999(from the Win98/ME dialup server setup page). If you do manage to get it to work, post it here. You would make a lot of people happy.
