pretz_7 Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 I used to be hapy and running dedicated server 24.7 but... I got a god damned router and now ... well .... the firewall has shatered my life.... I know how to start virtual server (ip/port) and set the net_ip and net_port in the ded server... But it can't get any ports.. it always says they're in use or something... I've also tryd a udp server ip thing but.. same problems... Can someone help me or give me a short guide to setting up a ded server with firewall/router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixCPA Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 What type of router did you get? There's a lot of known problems getting servers to work through certain firewalls. Typically, you need to open ports 28060-28062 (inclusive) and then the port you have the game running on, typically one of 28070-28080 (inclusive). As far as setting the ip, that's not necessary unless you have two ips assigned to the same machine. If you're trying to tell the server to use your external ip address when the box's address is 192.168.0.2 or something, it's not going to be able to open ports on your external ip. Just remove that and it should get rid of the "cannot open port" messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ysaric Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 You may find it useful to post your firewall/router type. However there are more than a couple of us for whom answers and solutions have been very elusive. There are two threads within the last day that deal with the same subject. The first is a general thread requesting that it be a consolidated place for firewall/router information. Another is my post, detailing the problems I have had. How much luck you have early on is probably going to depend on what firewall/router you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
