Have opened ports, but cannot host game

from Stardock Forums

I have used "ImpulseReactorOptions.exe" to specify Start: 6112 End: 6132 - I have also opened these ports in my SpeedTouch router.

Still if I try to host a game, it insists on hosting it on port 6073. No matter if I type 6112 and uncheck "Auto". It always wants 6073.

Is it a bug?

*edit: woo update!

That's where I followed the tip on using ImpulseReactorOptions.exe which tells me:
"Note: Starting Port should be > 6001 and End Port is at least Start Port + 20"
So I chose 6112 --> 6132 and opened these in my router. Demigod is also allowed through the windows firewall.

Still when I host a game it says it's hosting a game on port 6073.

I've also read in some monk's PDF-document that you should open 6100 through 6200. If this is correct, why doesn't it say so in the ImpulseReactorOptions-application?

Speedtouch routers:  Ridiculous things.

You may find that, even with ports forwarded, it still doesn't work.  I have a BT Home Hub and when I forward the ports it doesn't work.  I have to put myself in the DMZ for it to allow me to connect/host games.

I know this system isn't using Quazal for its netcode like previous GPG games, but try also forwarding port 61262 as well.
