Configuring firewall to allow Wii hosting?

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I just got my new home network setup last night (cable modem → rb750g using a dhcp client to grab an address off the modem → rb411ah using dhcp relay to handout addresses to wireless devices from the 750’s internal dhcp server).

I’m trying to get the firewall rules setup properly so that I can properly host games on my Wii. According to Nintendo’s website, the ports I need to open are:

The Wii console may require unrestricted access to several sites across various ports and protocols to function correctly. These addresses and ports vary, and may change in the future without notice. Many software firewalls restrict outbound access. Only if your firewall blocks outbound traffic do you need to enable this traffic:

TCP:
Allow traffic to all destinations on ports: 28910, 29900, 29901, 29920, 80, and 443
UDP:
Allow all traffic to all destinations. (Necessary for peer-to-peer connections and game play).

I’m a little unclear as to how to set the necessary firewall rules up. Most of my MT experience is on the RF side. :wink:

Keep in mind, they’re talking about outbound traffic only. This means no dst-nat is necessary. Do you have anything in IP → Firewall → Filters? If the answer is no, and the Wii can successfully connect to the internet, then you don’t need to do anything else.

Nobody will make a connection directly to your Wii - everything is relayed through other servers on the internet.
