The Paradyne 6211-I1 is the new adsl router being distributed to tstt HSIA customers. There are a few things to do before you can host games using this router.
First of all the firmware that the router is shipped with is buggy, and i recommend that you upgrade to version 6211-I1_R020614_AnnexA which is available for download at: http://www.zhone.com/support/downloads/cpe/6211-I1/6211-I1_R020614_AnnexA.zip
This step is not necessary, but ensures that your router does not stop responding while you are configuring it.
to upgrade your firmware:
1. Use your web-browser to enter the router's web interface via the LAN IP address. (usually 192.168.1.1 which is the default)
2. Enter the username admin and password admin unless u changed the admin password, in which case just enter what u changed it too.
3.Collapse the "Management Folder" to the left of the page and click "Update Software"

4. Click Browse and locate the file from the extracted folder which you downloaded. Click the "Update Software" Button, and wait while your router reboots.
PORT FORWARDING
This router is capable of forwarding ports to multiple LAN IPs once the relevant entry is made in the "Port Triggering" table. Yes this router is quite gosu....
Here are the steps to forward port 6112 for warcraft 3 so that you can host games.
1. Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
2. Click "Advanced Setup" --> "NAT" --> "Port triggering" Then click the "ADD" button(see picture below). Your table might not be as populated as mine so not to worry.

3.Click the "Custom Application" radio button, and then name it something like "warcraft". Then enter "6112" in all the port triggering boxes in the first row, and select TCP/UDP as protocol. It should look as follows:
