Inbound services and Outbound services? - Which applies to Renegade?
I'm in the middle of port-forwarding for Rene; and was wondering which section I have to add it to under the "Firewall Rules" section.
In the guide (as shown in the link below); it says - Click the Outbound Services or Inbound Services Add button. If you are unsure whether the program you are using will use these ports for inbound or outbound traffic, repeat these steps for both Inbound and Outbound.
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/DGN2000/Command_a nd_Conquer_Renegade.htm
So I was wondering which applied to the ports for Rene.
Any help appreciated.
Edit: When you add a service, it asks for your LAN Server IP Address. Is that listed as the set of digits after Default Gateway, or your IP adress once you use IPconfig in CMD.

I'm going to assume you have no problem connecting to servers and simply want to host a server, in which case inbound traffic is what you would want to allow. If you are having problems connecting to XWIS or a server, outbound traffic is what you would want to allow.
The "LAN Server IP Address" would refer to your computer's internal IP. An example of this would be 192.168.0.104, your router would most likely be 192.168.0.1, another thing to note: the internal IP can only be accessed from within your network.
Hope this helps explain things.

Actually, I wasn't planning on hosting a server; I just have problems when connecting to them. My ping fluctuates badly from 250-700. I can't really identify the problem. I've disabled WLAN Auto Config so that I don't get huge ping spikes every minute.
Using Speedtest and www.pingtest.net I've noticed my DL speeds halve sometimes; yet packet loss on pingtest is Nil. Yet when I use a program like PingTester; I get a very high loss rate % when pinging google; for example.. Also, the bigger the packet size; the greater packet loss I get.
For example, I just pinged Yahoo Answers; and over 30 hops with a packet size of 32 bytes, I got a loss rate of 33.33% with an average ping of 300.
If you'd like to help me with this; I could give you some screen shots etc.
Thanks for the help; appreciate it.
Edit: Thought I'd attach some results from PingTester.

Port forwarding won't help your ping/latency at all. Port forwarding does a static map between specific ports so the public can access your workstation private IP when using NAT. That's why it's always associated with "hosting a server".
If there were any problems with ports not being forwarded correctly or firewall permission issues for whatever it is you're trying to do (browse,game,up/download etc..) - traffic would not go through. It's a yes or no situation - not a fluctuation.
The timeouts would be your wireless interference or just the good ole internet. When you ping a remote site ping your gateway at the same time (your router). if you can't reach the website but can reach your gateway then its the internet/Isp. If both timeout at the same time then its your wireless/cabling going to your router.

Oh yeah, you don't need to use a fancy app btw 
-t will do a continous ping. Hit ctrl-c when you're satisfied and it gives you the averages. -n [number] will ping it number of times. There's also a switch to change packet size if you were really that curious.

triple post ftw.
I would suggest you hammer your gateway with pings and see if there are drops in the same amount as when you ping websites.
If the drops are high going to your router - it's your wireless/cabling/router thats the problem. If to your router can be proven fine then you can contact your ISP to have them test the path from your house to them - could be bad cabling going to your modem

I would recommend calling your ISP and asking them to test your line. From what you show above it's the connection after your router.
