(Again > someone check me real good if I"m mistaken in this or not) You need to be a little careful about this. You want to have some confidence that nothing else will grab that port, so that some service you expected to only be accessible locally is accessible remotely. It is probably a good idea to restrict what IP addresses can connect to the game server, on the theory that security isn't of high importance to game companies.
