I can confirm the following points: * UDP ports 6073 and 6100 - 6200 have been forwarded to the private IP of my desktop. I've tested this by using portforward.com's port check utility. I've used the reactor utility to force Demigod to use the 6100 - 6200 range. * The SPI function of my routers firewall is now off. I do not have any other Firewalls on my network, either sof
