Ok, there's just one more thing I don't understand. now once we make the connection via TCP or UDP. Do I still need to open the ports im going to use for a game in my router? I already have the port open necessary for the TCP or UDP connection(213), but do the peers still have to go out and through my router again when connecting to games? i know that I have to forward the ports in GIT that the game will use, this is take care of, but I thought that once we made that connection, it was like we were on a lan, and we didn't have to worry about ports anymore. thanks for the help so far!
