Adding Ports (for server)

Post by **ANIMAL1988** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 4:25 pm

What should i type

name: ???
Port Number: 27960 (is this right?)

Udp or Tcp ?

You're right on the port 27960 and the traffic type is UDP. sv_hostname is the friendly name you want your server to be listed as in the game browser.

Does this server look as if it is running correctly?

Has not appeared on internet server list but occurs twice in local server list one says UDP other IPX. (can any help me understand this)

Is it the case that the ip for the server will be the same ip as my machine (the one that appears when i load the server from the lan menu?)

if the ip you see is something like 192.168.1.10, then no, thats not right.
doesnt matter though, if your ports are set up correctly it will reroute to the correct outgoing IP

No, they need to type in the public IP of your system or router and you must have port 27960 UDP redirected on that system or router to your internal Q3 server for internet people to connet.

Here is my config: //Set the cvars in this file for your server!

//set your server's name
set sv_hostname "Art of War (http://www.planetquake.com/artofwar)"

//set the max number of clients to connect
set sv_maxclients 16

//set the time to cycle maps
set timelimit 40

//Allow custom models, music, etc
set sv_pure 0

//Give people time to load models
set g_warmup 30
set g_dowarmup 1

//Let remote users download
sv_allowdownload 1

//set the number of destructions to cycle maps
set capturelimit 5

//uncomment this var to reserve spots for people with the privatePassowrd

// If you *really* love the id CTF maps, use this:
//set d1 "map q3ctf1; set nextmap vstr d2"
//set d2 "map q3ctf2; set nextmap vstr d3"
//set d3 "map q3ctf3; set nextmap vstr d4"
//set d4 "map q3ctf4; set nextmap vstr d5"

//set d1 "map q3ctf1; set nextmap vstr d2"
//set d2 "map q3ctf2; set nextmap vstr d3"
//set d3 "map q3ctf3; set nextmap vstr d4"

//set d8 "map q3mlctf1; set nextmap vstr d9"
//set d9 "map q3mlctf2; set nextmap vstr d10"
//set d10 "map q3mlctf3; set nextmap vstr d1"

vstr d1

Adding the ports?: Windows firewall (is this the right place to be?)

Can anyone tell me how to add correct port given information and this picture?

Why are there 2 servers?

what does this ip mean?

If all goes well how do i find out the ip for my server?

Ps. I know i wrote alot but if i can get these questions answered hopefully i wont have to keep posting.

The IP address you are looking for would be your actual IP address of your connection to the internet. You can go here to find it: What's My IP Address?

You should use an alternative game server browser such as ASE (All Seeing Eye) http://www.udpsoft.com/eye and not the in game browser.

Your last picture looks like it's trying to connect to a MAC address maybe.

Does your modem plug straight into your PC or are you connected through a Router?
