Which one is login port and what should I put in for the name of the port cause when I try to open a port it says it needs a name and the number and the type (tcp/udp).

Step 3b: Unlock BF2's Ports

Open up all the ports in your firewall, Battlefield 2 uses ports to contact the internet, Firewalls block these ports, you will need to open them up, If you have a router, forward the ports to the computer which uses Battlefield 2 Here are a list of ports you need to open on BF2: 16567 and 16569 are the most important.

Opening these will help
UDP 27900
UDP/TCP 29900
TCP 80
TCP 4711
TCP 29901
UDP 1500-4999
UDP/TCP 1024-1124
UDP 28910
UDP 16567
UDP 55123-55125

....you do not open any ports...you allow them to be opened...

Your firewall should ASK you if it's allowed for the software to open those ports. If it does not ask you, then make it ask.
You can open those ports too but believe me, you do not want to.

what should I put in for the name of the port cause when I try to open a port it says it needs a name and the number and the type (tcp/udp)
You answered in that yourself. Look at the list. For the name, use BF2..maybe

If your trying to configure a router firewall, i just disabled mine. Job done!!! Like BudRell said your software firewall should open the ports you need.
