port forwarding help

[Radeau]

ok i have been trying to get my ports forwarded for a really long time now but cant get anything to work! i read through badspot's topic on port forwarding, but it didnt help. when i was on portforward.com i found my router, but it my router was set up totally different then there's. oh and am i supposed to just forward port 28000? because when i tried to host a game it said that i need to forward ports 28000 and 28032. im really confused here, so if you could help me that would be great.

Find your router again...
1. read the small letters under the big name
example(mine),
WESTELL
Model 327W
2. if there is more than one router that starts with those letters/numbers, look on bottom to see how the numbers/letters continue, find it, then follow directions

So you don't have to type in the website again =D

i have already been on portforward.com and found my router, Siemens Gigaset SE567. so i clicked on it and got the directions. but when i logged into the router, mine was setup way different then the picture they had. somehow i got to port forwarding. and i forwarded ports 28000 and 28032. they are the right ports right? i read badspot's post on port forwarding and it said forward port 28000, but when i went to host an internet game a message popped up and said i needed to forward ports 28000 and 28032.

I'm pretty sure you were right the first time.  Were the ports open or closed.

ok i think i forwarded them right the first time like Justin K. said, i forwarded port 28000 - 28032. does anyone if thats right? im not sure if they are open or closed so ill check. in the mean time could someone tell me if i forwarded it right?
