I've found your router's user manual here: ftp://ftp.netgear.de/download/DG834GB/D ... N_BETA.pdf
Lemmi know if that's wrong.

Log into your router by going to http://192.168.0.1
username: admin
password: password

Go to the "Inbound Services" section. This is where you need to allow Allegiance to get through.
Look at the existing services menu - do you see any "Microsoft Games"? It should list 2300-2400 there. If you can't find "Microsoft Games" then add a new one.

Trigger port: 47624 TCP
Inbound ports: 2300-2400 TCP/UDP

Forward them to your IP address. See the kb for info on getting your IP address.
