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 !
