MY CONFIGURATION I have an old gaming PC setup as a rf2 server. Steam is installed. I have installed the rf2 dedicated server files following this instruction https://docs.studio-397.com/users-guide/setting-up-a-dedicated-server The correct ports have been forwarded and tested to see if they are open using https://www.portcheckers.com/ The results: 54297 = open 64297 = open 64298 = closed (steam use) 64299 = closed (steam use) I did check and neither Windows firewall of my ISP are blocking the closed ports. The server itself works (I can start and run the server) PROBLEM I cannot see the server listed in the WAN server list, either through steam or using my gaming PC and the rf2 internal server browser. ‘Thanks for any assistance
As far as I’m aware port checking site only check tcp connections, so the UDP ones (64298/99) will show as closed, no biggie there. OK on servers on the local network, if you have a modem that does not support NAT Loopback(apparently newer models don’t), then they will not show on the WAN tab. In the server’s multiplayer.json file change the http port to 27013, then the ports to forward would be; TCP 27013 TCP 54297 UDP 54297 UDP 27014 UDP 27015 Your server should the shown under the LAN tab for you and WAN for external connections.
Thank you very much! My server did show up in my LAN tab after making the changes you indicated and I was able to join the server and race. I'll get someone to try and connect over WAN to finish testing. Thanks again!
[UPDATE] I had a friend try and connect over WAN and they were able to see the server and connect. The server even was able to download the missing content. Thanks again Goanna
