How to host shogun MP Games.

UDP or TCP?
Thats the question.
both TCP doesnt seem to work, neither does both UDP.

i give them udp and tcp.
udp are usualy what let people see your hosted games,
and then it also uses tcp as a nother chanel for data,
Most games use udp for the most part and tcp for a kind of back up

Shogun seems to use tcp most but you need udp to let people see your hosted games,
so both tcp and udp are needed.

heres how i have my shogun setup on my fire wall,

Note that the ports and stuff are only open to Shogun
the same ports can be opend for 1 game alone on routers as well,

I use udp and tcp protocalls and Any other stuff it may need,

And the ports are opend for both local and internet use

okay, I've forwarded the ports 8793 & 18321. Both UDP and TCP.
However there're a few questions left.
My settings:

Code:

Protokoll  	Port  	to IP-Address  	to Port  	
UDP  		8793 	192.168.178.20 	8793

The IP is my local machine. The setting looks similar in all 4 cases.
Notice the last column "to port". Is 8793 in this case correct?
Or should it be something different?

Another issue is UPnP. My router has it activated for
transmission of status-request (sorry, translation here).
Under WinXP I like to have it deactivated.
I guess I need to change that?

Anyone who can host and is behind
a router, can you please share your settings with us?

I have done about the same.

Entered 10.0.0.138 as my router IP-adress, and forwarded ports 8793 and 18321 both tcp and udp.

R'as checked for me but he couldn't see the game.

Shambles, what can it be?

darn router!

**Drisos** · 06-20-2005, 21:57

I the those ports. It should work now shouldn't it?

I only can't figure out how to let shogun only use them.

Hope it works.

P.S.: This thread should be stickyfied.

EDIT: thanks for the link in your post. That's my router. I now managed to open ports.

Are you really sure about the port numbers, Shambles?
Where are they from?

I know for a fact that I've my router configured properly
and from the screenshot that drisos provided I can tell
that he's done the right thing too (that is if the IP-address
is correct).

You should also correct your post because you're
mixing up IP and port several times.
No offense but this topic really gets on my nerves.

GAH!

drisos,

we made a mistake in your settings.
It just occured to me. You're reaching your
router interface under 10.0.0.138. This also means that
your local machine has a different IP. This
other IP is the one that you need to enter for the
port-forwarding.
Because the router is already visible on the web.
What we want to "see" is your local machine.

But, I've got it correct and it still isn't working.
