Port forward this way?

Would I be able to port forward for SWBF if I did it here instead of on my computer?
[spoiler][/spoiler]
Is that even the right thing?

well, first you need to explain what that is a screenshot of.

and answer a couple questions, do you have a router, what kind is it, and do you have the admin rights too it.

A screenshot of the wifi on my ipod, what do you mean by what router? Airport? Apple?  :wacko:
No I don't have admin rights, I was thinking this was a way to bypass that...

You don't even know what a router is...

Well you know that thing that gets the internet cord plugged into it and transmits the wireless across the house? That would be the router. You can access a router through a web browser by using it's IP address to connect to that. Commonly 192.168.1.1. I know how to find out the IP address of a router on Windows but on OS X is another story. Start out by typing 192.168.1.1 into your web browser and see if it leads you to anything. You are usually prompted by a request to login. The default on most routers is admin for the user name and admin for the password.

If as Sleepkiller pointed out your password and username is not set as admin/admin and you don't have the ability to get it.
You won't be able to portfoward, your ipod has no way to bypass it.

If your using an airport as i suspect apple gives us this nice application (Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility) Launch it, select your wireless router as it will detect any in range, and login if you have the password.

I know. I like to look at it this way, I spent all that time so that if I get my own Mac then I can still play SWBF on it without having to partion my hardrive. :shrug:

portforward.com is so slow and straightfoward that it is difficult to mess up. That's how I learned how to port forward.

Find out where's the router in your house, find the model number. Look it up in portforward.com and look for Star Wars BattleFront. It should get you a step by step instruction to teach you how to port forward.
