ports needed to serve a civII-ToT game

[rae]

hi there, i'm trying to play ToT over the internet being host.

my problem: i connect through my lan with a router/firewall to the internet, so i need to know the ports needed in order to turn of the blocking on them/to map them on my computer.

does anyone know the port(s) needed, or know where they are listed (i.e. a technical reference or something)

thanks very much in advance
greets

4993 is the magic port for Civ2 MGE. I am guessing that this will work for ToT.
I found this link by doing a forum search on the word "ports". The search feature is a good tool. Using the appropriate forum is also a good thing, because this is more a Civ2 Technical or Civ2 MP forum discussion.
I am going to move this thread to Civ2 MP and ask the mods there to sticky it.
