Play on the Internet

When I want to play over Internet in starter.fps, I seach a server and join. But how to create this server. When I click "Host Multiplayer" in TGE 1.4, the other gamers can't find my new server! Maybe I'm to silly for this, but how to create an internetserver. Thanks a lot. I hope you can help me.

Its not, I've checked. No firewall is running.

What about your router? Does it correctly send incoming packets to your PC on the local network?

Yes it does. Torque works fine with LAN.

Maybe is this a torque bug??? Cause its a clean Torque Installation and it doesn't work, its scary.

It's not a Torque bug, I've been testing multiplayer with a few friends across the internet for the past few nights and haven't had any problems.

28000, and others, not sure exactly which but it shouldn't be hard to figure out.

I will look. Thanks.

This is irrelevant. In a LAN all computers are connected to the router internally, not externally.

I can't find the section where to open the ports. Can someone host a internet server with the starter.racing/starter.fps, so that I can check, if it works.

Starter.fps does. Look in your firewall preferences and open ports 28000 and 28002 and it will work for you.

On your router. Since Linksys is a popular router brand, here's a link on how to do it: www.dslwebserver.com/main/sbs-linksys-port-forwarding.html. Of course, if you don't have a Linksys router this link means nothing. Search Google for "port forwarding xx" where xx is your router brand.

I remember opening it up and playing with terrain the first few days
and while i was "thinking I was alone and learning" 2 different people
joined my hosted session
I then sat down and looked for ways to prevent this
