In my firewall options, it tells me to enter a port name too. What port names should I give the ports?

It doesn't matter. Name them something descriptive, like "Sauerbraten ports".

I think only the number matters for the firewall - the port name is just for you to remember why you opened it, in case you were to check the firewall settings a year from now or some time later. You could put in "asdf" or "sauerbraten", and the firewall would still open the port.

Must be something wrong with my router then.
