The 5029s and the 60,000s!

[Sykotic]

Ugh... Something needs to be done about the People (like myself) that for some reason host under a Port like 60,000. So I ask you, what can be done?

 

[Penopat]

Huh.

Try using -clientport 5029 or -udpport 5029. If not, may I suggest setting your LAN IP as the DMZ?

 

[Sykotic]

>_>;;; Stupid is me?

I'm not really the one that configures the IP stuff (cept the ports of coruse). I tried UDPPORT 5029, but that only served to help join games. Which isn't what I'm going for. I haven't tried clientport, so let me check...

EDIT- Client port= Failure.

 

[Penopat]

Hrm.

What exactly happened when you tried -clientport? Did it just appear as (odd port number) on the MS?

 

[Sykotic]

It appeared as my usual 60,000-62,000 Digit.

I did that a 4 a.m. this Morning @_@

 

[Sykotic]

I'm going to do a Test with Mint when he gets back tomorrow. I'll have him clientport with the 60,000-62,000 digit that I get. If this Works, then I think we'll have it solved.

Yes this was a bump ._.

The -clientport switch won't help here. The odd port numbers are due to NAT. To fix the problem, you'll need to configure your firewall/router correctly.

Craaaap...being only a 14-year old, I'm not allowed to mess with that stuff...

Well this is a Crappy Moment :/

Being a 14 year old dosen't mean you aren't allowed to mess with ports. Hell, if you know what you're doing, and have a standard router, it should be a cakewalk. Most routers use nothing as the username and "admin" as the password, anyways. It's not like you constantly need to do it for SRB2 to work. I forwarded 5029-5049 once and once only, and now I can host netgames freely.

 

[Sykotic]

Yeah, I forwarded the Ports myself (No one found out *Phew*) but what ticks me off is that even though I forwarded them, it still won't let me Host Netgames!

 

[Spazzo]

...hmm...
Do you have any firewalls active? Don't forget that windows has an internet connection firewall built in, so you might want to disable it.
What virus program are you using? I know that Norton usually notifys you if it notices a connection wanting through. If you ever see anything like so, with srb2win.exe being the cause, make sure you allow it to connect.

 

[Sykotic]

Alright, in order.

-I use Zone Alarm as my Firewall, and Windows is Disabled. Zone knows that SRB2 exe is a safe connectable internet program.
-I have no anti-virus right now (>_< a Loser is me)
