What port to open for dedicated server?

[SirElxx 10]

Im using the Dedicated Server Tool from Armaholic.com, but when I start a server it appears in the LAN list. I believe this because in the options of this Dedicated Server Tool, it is set to port 2302, what port should it be set to for it to appear in the internet list?

Is your server on your LAN? If so it should show up in LAN list and in Internet list. I know my home server does (obviously my rented server does not, it's in Texas).

Default value of port is 2302, but you may change it by -port command line argument.

port  	UDP (used for game)
port+1	UDP (used for server reporting)
port+3	UDP (used for VoN transmissions)

Following outgoing ports need to be open as well:

port 	UDP (used for game)
port+3	UDP (used for VoN transmissions)

basically whatever port you choose, open up port, port+1, port+3 (UDP) in your router.

make sure this is in your server.cfg (armatech's tool gives you option to report to gamespy I believe in which case you can ignore this)

reportingIP="arma2.master.gamespy.com";

OR

reportingIP="arma2pc.master.gamespy.com";
