That's a typo, correct? "25562" rather than "25565"?
Well, this is just plain goofy. The email I received said "62", but when I go look at the post, it says "65".
Sorry.
Oh, well sorry if I mistyped. In any case I meant 25565 either way.

I am poorly equippedd to investigate port forwarding. Aside from loading up an internet game, are you aware of any other method to "open" a random port? I would love to reproduce the problem on one of my computers.
