Port Forward Sid Meier's Civilization III

Forwarding ports is a useful trick in gaming because it can really help to make your network connection most stable and sometimes even faster.

Before You Forward a Port
Before you can forward a port you need to know the following things:
- The IP address of your network router.
- The IP address of the device that the game will play on: either your computer or your console.
- The TCP and UDP ports to forward.
