In your router setup, go to advanced, then to forwarding, that is where you set that. Make sure that you only use TCP as UDP is not used at all by RunUO.

I would also suggest using the serverlist.cs that Mr.Fixit wrote.

<edit>Just for informations sake, Linksys is a damned good router.</edit>

when im at the forward in the setup menu do i put the 2593 after the ip? or in the service port range like this?

0 ~ 0
but instead of 0 i put 2593?

an do i put tcp for every single protocol?

Here mate, simply explained by Admin God of JoeyVille shard :-)

I took a screenshot of what the correct forwarding should look like for forwarding RunUO shards/ports. The highlighted "105" is what you will need to edit yourself. Go to START > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Command Prompt (or load MSDos/Command Prompt at it's location on your computer). Type "ipconfig", and wait for a list to appear. Where you see "192.168.1.___", note the last number and put it where 105 is listed. All of the other information in my screenshot use too (exactly as shown). So the only thing you're changing is the "105" to whatever the last number is in your local IP address (router's IP address, NOT your static IP). Now, fill all of that out and click the Enable box. Save settings, and you're all set to go. NOTE: This is for a Linksys router, but I'm sure it's pretty much the same for most other router pages. Where it says "RunUO" in the box, it is not necessary, but I added it for easier reference.

Here's the screenshot:

If for some odd reason this doesn't work, email me and I can help you from there. But pretty much there is less than a 0.5% chance anything will go wrong. This will also work for anyone, in case people are reading this and wondering, or are having trouble setting up a forwarding page for their shards..

Trying to get shard help from Joey is like trying to get a frog to eat a slice of pizza. Not.going.to.happen. If you encounter any problems, tell me. I have probably ran into every problem while trying to start a shard, and eventually fixed all of 'em. Note for future reference: Don't ask Joey for help. He will only tell you to go away o_O
