What are the ports I have to open in my firewall to allow for server hosting and for it to be listed in Gamespy?

For routers, as for firewall, just use the same port, or if they have a default or something...

GameSpy Ports:

These ports are all local ports which need to be allowed to send traffic both ways. Also, Bioware says that you only need to allow UDP, GameSpy say TCP. I say, with the number of ports you're opening, try just UDP first. If you still have issues, open the TCP as well on an port by port basis, according to the firewall warning log.

6667 (IRC)
3783 (Voice Chat Port)
27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat)
28900 (Master Server List Request)
29900 (GP Connection Manager)
29901 (GP Search Manager)
13139 (Custom UDP Pings) *A boatload of traffic hits this port.
6515 (Dplay UDP)

*Local Port 13139 is where every server pings your client before it lists.
