Tried it. Didn't work.

Essentially, he has a Linksys router like me, but a different model. His father is stingy about getting viruses and stuff. (Well, my parents are kinda like that too, but they've slackened off a bit. Go me.) Apparently, forwarding ports on the router so that it simply connects to your computer will make your IP visible over the Internet. I don't think this is true, since it's only a very select set of ports, and unless someone is searching through the billions of computers and the tens of thousands of ports per computer for a way to get inside someone's compy, I doubt that they'll come along those three on his computer. In any case, Firefox's father doesn't want him forwarding the ports, like I said, for fear of being seen all over the Internet.

To cut it short: Is there any way to forward those three ports without them being accessible by anyone else other than JJ2 clients?
