Open et net port


(nikita) #1

I have a router so i only got local port , can only play lan…
how do i open a global port?

I’ve opened the port I’m tryin to use on my router, tried killing my firewall to see if that was stopping somethin, but no joy. I’ve also amde sure I have the real IP, not the router assigned one.

are you trying to run a server or just play ??

to play you should not need to do anything but click to join a server (from the serverlist) and shoot

try http://4newbies.planetwolfenstein.gamespy.com/ for info

see if you have “internet” in the source filter and not LAN
hmm, global port, don’t know what that is. i have a router, i open my ports and thats all i need, and windows firewall was just a pian in the arse so i deleted that but i cant seem to understand the problem, your network provider is blocking ports or sth?

As you can see, i only have 1 ip, a LOCAL ip
in order for me to host, i need to have another ip adress, GLOBAL
that every player should be able to connect 2.

i enabled port 27960, 1 , 2 and so on…
closed windows firewall (alg.exe) and disabled it, and the router firewall as well…

my dedicated is 2, and am viewing internet and not local
but since only my local ip adress is avilable, i can only connect to it via local ip and not internet …
Meaning, if i set my filter in the masterlist to LOCAL i will see my server but if i set it to internet, it wont be visiable.

you can only see a comp in your network as local, shouldn’t stop others from seeing it in internet

usually you can’t set up a serv like that with a router, you need to set up hamachi, it shares your lan. just start ET, make shure it uses the hamachi ip, set up the serv, and give others the hamachi ip, if they connect to the hamachi serv they can see a serv in their “LAN” list.

google hamachi and download it, instructions should come with it, i have successfully set up an etpro server and played with my friends on it thx to hamachi.
