(Help With Port) Hosting A Srb2 Netgame.

[Xtreme Starfox]

Well I tried today to see if I can host a SRB2 Netgame but I am not sure that I can host.

NSFW image -- this is why you don't use Imageshack, folks.

If you look at the picture Where my name is, it says my port is 53193.

I opened port 5029 in my firewall and it still says that, anybody know if I am still able to host a Netgame? Or What I should do to be able to Host one?

And I do have a Static Ip address.

Edit: Uh I am confused now, it says my Port is 53533 now.... :?

Ivan's does that too. You can still host. IP joiners will need that port though.

Who is "Ivan"?

Anyway, it's ok when that happens if it's a personal netgame, because the joiners can use the launcher, and just use the parameter "-udpport (obscure port number)". If you already have a static IP, then... I'm not sure.

The strange port numbers are due to NAT. Your router adjusts port numbers so that the entire LAN can connect to the Internet with a single address, and the router knows which packets should go to which local machines. It doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem.

However, windows asks me for this, and i put:

Port Name: srb2
Port Number: 5029

On Master Server it comes up as:

Players: ? / ? Gametype: Unknown Extra Files: ? Ping:

I'm getting the same problem but I think that its only the kind of computers/laptops we have

I seen many people post it and it simple why you can't host, you need to open port 5029 on UDP from your router.
