HWBush: Added comment/suggestion about a bullet point in the prerequisites section.

Added comment/suggestion about a bullet point in the prerequisites section.

New page

== Clarification on the Prerequisites section ==

Hi webb, I wanted to ask about a specific point in the prerequisites section:

> ''Optional:'' An opened port on your firewall for the server if you want a persistent IP address

I'm confused by the wording on this, wouldn't having a port open on the firewall just mean that it's accessible past the firewall? Persistent public IPs are usually given by the ISP and aren't related to the firewall directly.

I think the last bullet point could just be combined with this point instead:

> ''Optional:'' Opening port <code>27015</code> on your firewall and/or forwarding UDP port <code>27015</code> on your router, if you wish to let players connect over the internet.

Great work on the wiki page otherwise! looking forward to using this when the steam release drops.
