Simplest method I found which does not comprimise security (according to
the SHIELDS UP website (https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2), is the
following:
Open your router's configuration through your browser and go to:
ADVANCED>PORT FORWARDING> UPNP FORWARDING
Create a new entry, such as QUAKE3 in an open space provided.
Enter the EXTERNAL port number which you would like to have your Quake
server use. (e.g. 27969)
Select UDP as the protocol type.
Enter the INTERNAL port number which MUST be the same as the EXTERNAL
number.
Enter the IP address of the server. This is the LOCAL IP as assigned by
your router.
Check the ENABLE box.
Apply changes.
Reboot any and all machines currently running that are connected to your
router.
Now, add the following to the QUAKE3 shortcut or batch file on the
SERVER machine:
+set net_port 27969
This sets the server net_port to the same port as the one you specified
in the router configuration.
Last, make sure each machine behind your router uses a different
net_port when connecting to your server. This will prevent players from
getting dropped.
Just add the same command to the shortcuts on the client machines, using
a different port number for each:
+set net_port 27961
+set net_port 27962
Etc...
Hope this helps,
