November 22, 200322 yr I have a firewall and want to setup a Rebellion multiplayer game. So which ports must i forward to the game server? Best regardsSøren
November 22, 200322 yr Uh, dunno offhand, but doesn't your firewall notify you, when Rebellion tries to connect to the net and what port(s) it wants to use ? http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif
November 22, 200322 yr Author Well not really as im running the "server" part, so my Rebellion is not trying to connect to anybody, but i gues i could try that and figure it out that way.
November 24, 200322 yr If you're not the server for the session you want to play, then you need to enter the server's IP number, nothing more, no additional ports If your buddy with the server doesn't know his online IP, he can open a Dos Box and type ipconfig, then he should see all the IPs currently tied to his pc. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif
November 25, 200322 yr Author Boy am I bad ad explaining myselfe. I do run Rebellion as the server (host), but I have a router which is my public IP address (and it has build in firewall), so I need to open up for the right port(s) and forward the(se) port(s) to my PC so that my friend can contact my Rebellion server (host). Best regardsSøren
November 26, 200322 yr If anyone does find out, I'd love to know this as well. I had not played Rebellion online for 4-5 years now only because my internet is connected through a firewall (on a separate comp). Sadly none of my real life friends are too inclined about playing Rebellion on a LAN either.
December 10, 200322 yr Port Trigger/Forward 2300! A lot of bothan spies (and advil capsules and frustrated "netstat -a"s) died to get us this information.
