Linksys and -dedicated

by Howard Dortch · in Torque Game Engine · 05/16/2004 (12:45 pm) · 2 replies

I can't set up a dedicated server behind my Linksys router. I can connect to others but no one can connect or see me. Anyone have a port range/trigger set up?

You need to foward data from the ports to the correct computer on your network.

In your server directory of your game you will have a default.cs. This file will specify the default port. Mine is:
// The network port is also defined by the client, this value 
// overrides pref::net::port for dedicated servers
$Pref::Server::Port = 28000;

By default you need to open at least 28000 -> 28001.

For a linksys router (and most I believe) this is done by logging onto your router and setting up a forward.
