    https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711
    because i have been having some issues
    Now my question is when i enter my routers setup page the table for forwarding ports i see internal and external, now whats bugging me is that i don't know whether to put the ports in internal or external?
    Could someone help me? Here's the print screen of how the layout looks, and the ports i need to forward are in the link.

    Also, when i was looking at the guide, the picture of the table to fill up is difrent
    Mine has internal-external parts and that one does not.
    Mine has 2x Start port and 2x End port and the one on the guide does not?
    Its for the same router.
