Links to port forwarding guides

For anyone with port forwading problems. Here is some links to several guides. Your portforwarding have nothing to do with the ARK Server tool or the game. It is a firewall and/or Router problem. The ports for ARK is 7777 and 27015

* Configuring a Router for use with a Dedicated Server @ Steam <-My personal favorite. It covers almost everything.

* Required Ports for Steam

* Port Forwarding Guides for Steam Client @ portforward.com

* Opening Ports for Steam Server on the Microsoft Windows

Note that you need to forward both TCP and UDP in your Windows Firewall and Router.

Oh, and a easy beginner mistake to do: If you login after seeing your server in the LAN section of Steam. Don't forget to check so that you are not hiding password protected servers. I remember I thought my ports wasn't working. But it was just that I had hidden unofficial password protected servers. :)
