OK so I live in a student house with a shared router
I want to play Red Alert 3 online but cannot connect to anyone without forwarding ports
Can I rightly inform my housem8s that nothing bad will come from forwarding a bunch of ports?
I.e. if I need to forward say TCP 80, but they need that to browse websites, will they now be unable to do so?
I don't really understand how it works. Am I preventing them from getting any information that would usually travel via those ports, therefore gimping their internets?
Thx
