Game ranger claims my computer/internet connection is behind a:   
      
   Port-Restricted Cone NAT Router (Game Ranger)

   Port-Restricted Cone NAT Router   
   Your internet connection is behind a Port-Restricted Cone NAT Router that may   
   prevent you from connecting to some players in peer-peer games.   
      
   You will still be able to connect with the majority of players, but not with   
   those who have Symmetric NAT Routers (which are not that common, fortunately).   
   One advantage of fixing this problem is that the "Preparing Connection" window   
   will complete much    
   faster.   
      
   If you do want to solve this problem, it will involve you configuring your   
   router. Most routers are configured through a web page built into them. You   
   may be able to reach yours here.   
      
   Many recent routers support a feature called Universal Plug and Play (UPnP).   
   This feature will allow GameRanger to do most of the configuration required.   
   You will need to enable it to allow GameRanger to make changes. Not all   
   routers support UPnP    
   correctly, however, so that may not be enough.   
      
   The alternative is to manually configure your router to do port-forwarding for   
   UDP port 16000. Ask your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or refer to your   
   router's instruction manual for assistance here.   
      
   Port-forwarding tells the router to send the game communication data to your   
   computer. The port-forwarding configuration page will ask you for a public   
   port and a private port. Set both of those to 16000. In some cases, instead of   
   asking for a public    
   port, it will ask for a port range (eg. Start Port, End Port). Set the Start   
   and End to 16000. It will also ask you for the IP address of your computer   
   that the data should be sent to. It may call this the LAN IP, Local IP, or   
   Private IP. This should be    
   set to 84.25.113.203. If it asks you for the protocol or type, set it to UDP.   
      
   Unfortunately, it is not possible to offer step-by-step instructions here as   
   every router is different.   
      
   If you are at work on a company network or at a university, you may not be   
   able to fix the problem yourself. Instead you may have to ask the network   
   administrator to how to port-forward UDP port 16000 to your computer.

   What the fuck is this ? Carrier grade NAT ?!?!   
      
   Has game ranger gone crazy ?! If not how can it detect this ?!   
      
   Ok ziggo might block certain ports like netbios ports just for security   
   reasons....   
      
   or SQL slammer to block SQL worms...   
      
   But either than that I dont know about this...   
      
   Just tried to host a company of heroes games but was not showing up in list,   
   this is a bit suspicious, the link to my cable modem menu was interesting but   
   nope not working... 84.25.112.1    
      
   This is just default ip gateway on my pc/host configuration.   
      
   Is Game Ranger detecting a miss-configured cable modem/router ?  Or just   
   detecting some block ports by ziggo ?!?   
      
   Or has lost game ranger it's mind ? ;)   
      
   Bye,   
     Skybuck.
