Really? I got that range from the network readme file distributed with the game. It is under the section titled Linksys BEFSR41 v.1 since that was what I had at the time. Here's the excerpt:
5. On the next available line under Server Port Range enter 2033 ~ 2303, under Protocol select TCP, and under IP Address enter the IP address of the computer on which you will be playing SFC3.
So, I guess my question is: Are you able to play opening only port 2303 instead of the range? I just assumed the readme was correct, especially since it worked for me. Please let me know so I can update my post on other forums as well.
Thanks

Well, I finally got some time to investigate this. After checking the network.readme for other routers, it does appear that there was a typo in the section for the one I was using at the time. It still worked, so I assumed it was correct. Anyway, I made the change to reflect the info given for the other routers and tested it on my current Linksys. It works and is cleaner, so I've updated my original post to reflect this. Thanks for noticing GFL Offkey.

Actually, its 2302-2303, but I see that is what you have in your first post now anyway.
Interestingly, Microsoft indicates:

So,
for SFC2: 47624 TCP, 2300-2400 TCP & UDP
for SFC3: 6073, 2302-2303 UDP
Should be all that is required. I know for sure those are the only ports required for SFC2, but I have not tested using UDP only for SFC3, last time I played it behind a router I just forwarded TCP & UDP for all the ports concerned.
I wonder if the SFC3 network readme is in error about ports 2302-2303 being TCP and not UDP? The directplay 8 requirements tell me it is, which might explain why so many have issues.

That is indeed interesting.
The ports that I've always used and can confirm working for SFC3 are 6073 UDP and 2302-2303 TCP, as per the network readme. However, I just did a quick test, setting 2302-2303 as UDP and connected fine. I didn't try any other testing such as hosting, PvP etc. I'm not sure if it would matter. It seems that either work.
GFL Offkey:
On my connections I opened all three ports in udp and tcp that way there would be no issue.
