netgear wgt624 which I believe is extremely common (at least here in the US).

so I don't need to forward ports to join a game?

I absolutely cannot connect to games hosted by players... (port 4000 it says). Strange bug?

OK... doing research I guess I have to forward ports. (geez...)

I have no clue. I get to my netgear router settings and I try to forward ports 4000 and 4001 but what do I put for an IP address? UDP is the service type?

I'm not a big online player so if I sound dumb don't flame me. I play multiwinia on line and join games usually hosted by servers that randomly make games (like NeoThermic or Multiwinia-Ladder.net).

Is there anyone that can beat The Third Kind playing single player?

Is there a way for attackers to win this? I've been playing single player easy and I always end up running out of time. Once I got a nuke in a crate which solved the 4 turrets but how do I defeat them without such luck?

what am I missing here? I played darwinia so I thought I had this down. Here's the problem. I right click to make a darwinia an officer. The flag comes up on him but there's no formation there.
