I don't think you understand what port forwarding is If there is scripts designed to set up port forwarding most likely they are customised to the workstation and router/hub they connect to....

If you are unfamiliar with port forwarding take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding

i play like 10 games and most of them require port forwarding...

i have logged into my router like 1000 times and opend ports...

here is a program that i would like to duplicate... PFConfig

do you remove the port forwarding after you play the game or what? cause you should only have to forward it once ^^

only once.

would it be possible to scipt a program to open a port? 6116 - 6119 tcp <-- example warcraft3

YEs its very possible, but it will probably all be done "Visually" not behind the scenes ( I.E. program opens a browser window and manually inserts the information into the port forwarding part of your router )... It could very well be done by sending POST / GET information, but im not familiar with that

Found this leftover code in my script test folder, but it is unfinished as I wanted to check if the background uPnP service was running first and do some more checking before invoking the commands and afterwards to see that they actually worked, but if you can make use of it then any code would be appreciated as I have concentrated on other things in the meantime...

;uPnPadd.inc
;This adds the specified ports to the router port forwarding tables using uPnP

;This program enables an IRC file transfer port
;And then puts up a prompt waiting for the user
;to be finished transferring files

$theNatter = ObjCreate( "HNetCfg.NATUPnP")
Dim $mappingPorts
$mappingPorts = $theNatter.StaticPortMappingCollection

If IsObj($mappingPorts) Then
 
 ;We add a new port saying that externally accept from port 1024
 ;route to internal port 1024 on computer with IP 192.168.1.101
 ;Enabling the forward, and giving a name of the forward to be 'IRC'
 
 $mappingPorts.Add (1024, "TCP", 1024, "192.168.1.101", True, "IRC")
 MsgBox(0, "Ports added", "Total number of ports after add is " & $mappingPorts.Count & ". Hit OK when you're done transfering")
 
 ;To uniquely specify a forward, you give the external port
 ;and the protocol - here we remove the forward that we added
 
 $mappingPorts.Remove (1024, "TCP")
 MsgBox(0, "Ports removed", "We're done and the total number of ports is " & $mappingPorts.Count)
 
Else
 
 MsgBox(0, "Problem","Could not create a uPnP object")
 
EndIf

You should find that most modern routers support uPnP unless it has specifically been turned off in the configuration (mainly for security reasons).

this opens port 1024-1024 TCP and then after you click "OK" the port is now closed???
