I'm tired to set an ofpr server behind "firewall"

[BUG=SAM= 0]

Our clan server runs on win2k professional and use Port Filter to prevent server from hacked and attacked.

I have added the following Port to "allow list" , the players need to type IP directly to join the server. no HostName displayed on GAMESPY SERVER LIST, and with a long waiting period in both connecting/connected and mission receiving status....

UDP:2302

UDP:2303

TCP:27900

So I changed the Port-Filtering setting to :

TCP:2302/UDP:2302

TCP:2303/UDP:2303

TCP:27900/UDP:27900 allowed

HostName still can't be displayed on GameSpy Server List , but it seems not to spend a long time for players in server to wait.

When I close all Port Filter func, everything runs pretty well.

...

Please give an reference guide for "server settled behind firewall/proxy/router" . Thx form the bottom of our heart !

I use the following:

TCP 47624

UDP 47624

TCP 6073

UDP 6073

TCP 2234

UDP 2234

TCP 2300-2400

UDP 2300-2400

This will allow DirectX (for VON functionality) as well as sockets, depending on whether you change the default port.

[BUG=SAM= 0]

the problem still carries on, I have been doing everything in accordance with what u said.

( I didn't change default port setting)

With a sniffer software, I found that server 1.90 would access gamespy through Port:27900 when the server startup

notice the text with red underline.

Why the port 27900 doesn't mentioned in your advice?

The second question is that in Port-Filter-Allow-List, only 53 (used for DNS to get IP of "master.gamespy.com") set to be open both TCP and UDP at the same time.

Does this situation concern with the Problem ?

My mistake -- I don't use GameSpy, hence I didn't include it in my port list. You will have to open it if you want to list your server on GameSpy.
