Hi All Can someone please tell me what ports i need to have open to to be able to host and have people be able to join my server. It shows up in list but no one can connect to it. ~S~ CFS_EAGLE Don
Basically what you have set in the multiplayer.ini file. Use search, there are countless threads about this. Example (values can be different fro you, check your multiplayer.ini): WAN Query Port="44297" // range is 1025 - 65535 WAN Join Port="54297" // range is 1025 - 65535 LAN Query Port="44297" // range is 1025 - 65535 LAN Join Port="54297" // range is 1025 - 65535 HTTP Server Port="64297" // range is 1025 - 65535. Used for file sharing
That answer is incomplete. You have to allow (and forward) incoming connections on TCP port 54347 as well. Edit: More generally "WAN Join Port"+50. I cannot for the life of me see why it is necessary to use a tcp port that is nowhere to be found in any file or documentation, makes setting up a server a painful exercise for people that basically have no clue about networking. Edit2: To tidy things up a little, here the shortened list of ports that need to be forwarded and opened in the firewall to be able to host over the internet: WAN Join Port (UDP) WAN Join Port + 50 (TCP) HTTP Server Port (TCP), only if one has the integrated HTTP server enabled.
