Hosting behind router?

Clobyn · 05-05-2004, 07:24 AM

I can't seem to host RD2 games. I behind a router (NAT) and I forwarded inbound ports 10200 TCP, 2300-2400 TCP/UDP to my game system (the actual host). Outbound traffic is not resticted. When I create a host session, nobody joins, even after 15+ mins. One of the reasons I can think of is how will the game know about the right IP address? I'm hosting on the interal IP (192.168 range) and the game should obviously be published with my internet IP. I haven't found an option to enter that manually anywhere.

Perhaps, there's another reason (wrong ports?).

Answers or clues will be appreciated

Try forwarding port 10975 to your PC on which you are hosting.

Thanks Bryzi, I already had it fixed (but forgot I also posted about it here).

In case anyone else is having problems: here is a thread about my (solved) hosting issues.
