 Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 6:40 pm Post subject: Configure your router for Unreal servers |
 |
|
People setting up Unreal servers behind firewalls and routers have been asking for a summary of the network ports Unreal uses. Here goes:
* UDP 7775 and 7776 are used only for LAN games. You don't need to route them through a firewall.
* UDP 7777 is for gameplay.
* UDP 7778 is for server querying.
* UDP 7779+ are allocated dynamically for each helper UDPLink objects, including UDPServerUplink objects.
* UDP 27900 is for server querying, if you enable the master server uplink. Some master servers use other ports, like 27500.
If you are running Unreal as a server behind a Cable/DSL Router you need to go to the port forwarding menu on your router and forward Unreal's ports to the internal IP that your server has.
Consult the manual and support page of your router / firewall vendor for instructions.
For more info for *many* routers, visit this site:

Update
Hellfire told me that there is an external tool that allows you to easily configure port forwarding on many routers. If you want to try it, go to http://www.simpleportforwarding.com/. Use at your own risk of course.

So when you say port 7779+ do I include the + in my port forward? |
