Hotline Server
IN         TCP   5500 - 5503 
IN         UDP  5499
The TCP Ports enabled are 5500 - 5503 (This is for the standard 5500
Hotline port)

If you change the default port, then you must enable the 3 ports after
it (so if you choose 4000 then you must enable 4000 - 4003)

The UDP port enabled 5499 is required only if you want to list your
server on a tracker (the data stream is only outgoing so if you want to
disable in bound on a firewall it would work fine)

ICQ
In ICQ under "Preferences & security", "Preferences" and Connections, click on "I am behind a
firewall or proxy" then click on "Firewall Settings". Then select "I don't have a SOCKS Proxy server
on my firewall" or "I am using another Proxy server". Click Next.  Click "Use the following TCP
listen ports for incoming event" and set the TCP ports for 20000 to 20019 for the first user, 20020
to 20039 for the second user,  20040 to 20059 for the third user, etc.

One additional UDP and one TCP port in the range of 1 to 30000
must be mapped.  Ports 6802 and 6803 are suggested.  These 
ports must be mapped in your firewall, then set in the Net2Phone client
as follows:
     1) Click on Net2Phone's "Menu" button.
     2) Select "Preferences".
     3) Click on the "Network" tab.
     4) Enter 6802 for the Client TCP Port.
     5) Enter 6803 for the Client UDP Port.

OUT   UDP 8200 - 8700 [Firewall / network mode group voice]
OUT   UDP 1025 - 2500 [outbound voice & control stream (user configurable)]

The last 2 UDP outbound ports are usually set in pairs. 1024 - 1025, 1026 - 1027, etc... Most users never
have to set these lower two ports. They are dynamically assigned if you leave the lower two boxes set to 0's
on the 'paltalk port settings' tab. 
Outbound ports are usually not an issue but are listed here for network users who may need to manually
configure for a proxy or NAT server or other hardware device.

PhoneFree

IN         UDP     9900 - 9901

IN         TCP     2644
IN         TCP     8000
This Mapping is needed to hear the audio from the incoming party, outgoing audio would work
without it. 
** According to phonefree the ports you need open are:
   8000 TCP For Server access
   1034 UDP Voice in/out
   1035 TCP Voice in/out
   2644 TCP Personal Communication Center
I found that port range 9900-9901 UDP is also needed but not mentioned at phonefree support.
Also shut off any other firewall programs you may have running. 

To make PC-TO-PHONE calls, it seems only UDP port 9900 must be opened (the fewer ports
open, the better!).

This allows for -1- machine on the network to take advantage of Blizzard's BattleNet system for

be needed.

NOTE: If the server is behind the same router/firewall as other clients, then all of the clients will
have to add "+set net_port 27961," "27962," etc. to their shortcut command lines.  Otherwise, they
will not be able to use the in-game internet game browser. This is due to the fact that EF uses the
same port (27960) for both the client and the server.

2. Choose "Properties" 
3. In the Target field you'll see a line like "C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" 
4. Add the Quake III net_port command to specify a unique communication port for each system. The
complete field should look like this: "C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" +set net_port
27660 
5. Click OK. 
6. Repeat for each system behind the NAT, adding one to the net_port selected (27660,27661,27662)
