darkan9el Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 (edited) Hi all, I have the linksys wag354g v2 and would like to know if I need to use port forwarding to play online? if so what ports do we need to put in? me and my mates just want to set up a server to thrash about on. we have tried but cannot connect. We can set up the server and all have gamespy accounts. As always, the makers tout this as multiplayer but give little or no info on how to use multiplayer and how to set it up. Best regards Lee Edited November 2, 2006 by darkan9el Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilboooo Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 On my config I did turn off the firewall for the pc hosting the server. Then, I gave it a local fixed IP address (no dhcp) and forward tcp and udp from game port to that IP (namely port 15250). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOTA:X Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hi all, I have the linksys wag354g v2 and would like to know if I need to use port forwarding to play online? Just to clarify, only the server needs to forward those ports if it is behind a router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will test with firewalls and then without to see if its a firewall issue. Regards Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOTA:X Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) Techinically under "program files\Ubisoft\Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter\Settings\servers" there is a file with this entry: <port value="15250"/> I don't necesarilly recommend changing it, especially since you're having trouble getting people into the server. Also if you change the port and people use the "Add IP" to favorites option, they won't see the server.

Ok port forwarded the 15250 port and disabled the firewalls, and we have success, didn't have time for the firewalls up test so will edit this post later on to confirm settings. Thanks for the help so far, much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help so far, much appreciated. From the game readme. You may experience difficulty connecting to Gamespy if a firewall or anti-virus blocks the following ports: Local Ports UDP 15250 UDP 13139 UDP 15250 Remote Ports UDP 15250 TCP 80 TCP 6667 UDP 13139 UDP 27900 UDP 27901 TCP 28910 TCP 29900 TCP 29901 UDP 29910 TCP 29920 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
