KeyCat 131 Posted July 4, 2002 Well OFP:R finally arrived here in Sweden. Overall it has many nice improvements and the V-80 is cool! But my final verdict have to wait until I checked out the new socket netcode etc. Anyway, yesterday I tried to put up a socket test server and opened up port 2302 and 2303 UDP (as stated in the MPTest thread by Suma) in my NAT/Firewall but no go (i.e no game showed up for the other player)? Does anyone know what ports the final OFP:R 1.75 really uses? Can't understand why BIS/CM don't include such important info in the README.TXT? Would make it so much easier for their support department, and us /Christer (a.k.a KeyCat) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted July 4, 2002 2302/3 should do it, though I never got a straight answer yet whether both 2303 TCP and UDP need to be open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fox Mulder 0 Posted July 4, 2002 I tried to start a ded server behind my linux router and only forwarded port 2302/2303 tcp/udp (don't know if both needed) to my internal machine and the server works fine and shows up in the gamespy list. Ciao, Fox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 131 Posted July 4, 2002 Roger! Will try again tonight and forward both UDP and TCP and see if that makes it. /Christer (a.k.a KeyCat) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gismo 0 Posted July 4, 2002 For socket you need to forward only the UDP - port 2302 and 2303. [EoJ]Gismo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xhit 0 Posted July 5, 2002 I am not sure the developers has sorted out the ports and netcode completely. When I open a server from the GUI my friend has problem connecting. But after a few tries my server is showing on his listing and we can play. I do not open 2303 since it should not be needed when you do'nt want to advertise your server via the game spy network. The ports 2302 and 2303 should be the only ones you should open. So let the ones connection to you try and try again and maybe it will work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 131 Posted July 8, 2002 Did some more testing and there seems to be something fishy about the ports needed to be open in the new sockets netcode.... By opening up a broad range of ports (UDP 2302-2402) when hosting on my machine the game showed up on my freinds computer OK and almost instantly. I hosted on port 2302 (default) and my friend connected to the same. The strange part is that the more ports I closed (tried with UDP 2302-2330 and 2302-2320) it took longer time for the game to show up in the list. Couldn't get it to work (within an acceptable timeframe) by only having UDP 2302-2303 open? Never tried DirectPlay in 1.75 but it works fine with only 2234 opened in 1.46 and earlier versions. Anyone? /Christer (a.k.a KeyCat) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
