on a slighty different note, how much harder is it for someone to hack into an open port that is high like 6234, instead of the regular internet and ftp port. Would the risk of being hacked be any higher?

ok, thanks a bunch! :)

hi, im a kid trying to play an internet game, but i am currently not allowed to because of ports in my router. I have figured out what port needs to be opened for the game to work, but in my router they ask for the port/s and for the ip address of my "local server". What exactly is that ip address and how can i find it? How safe is opening this port to play a highly popular online game? Thankyou
