Does torque net work work behind a router?

by Ace · in Torque Game Engine · 02/24/2004 (6:14 am) · 2 replies

How do you make it work be hind a router? i have 3 p4's and 2 p3's on a lan using a linksys router. The server is demiliterized ( all ports open)and can find any torque game on the lan and the other computers can see any torque game on the server.

But i have yet to find any servers running on the internet, i have comcast cable and all my computers do get online at once.

Even the links to th gg site (from in the demo) dont work.

is there somthing i can do? or has this part of the net code not been touched yet?

There is no problem at all with torque and lan ,it works great.
I use it with a router and in every direction i can start a server and play.

So i think something about your network does this ,because i was suprised how easy torque is to set up on a lan .
This is plugandplay not plugandpray :)

UDP being a connection less protocol, it's quite impossible to prevent some configurations to have problems with routing the packets to the right NIC.
I don't have a solution for you offhand, but it's definitely not a Torque problem, but more of a UDP with NAT/router problem.
Google on the topic, or ask about it on your favorite development mailing list, or better, network programming list :)
