Desperate attempt to host #X:
Ok, here's what I did to ckeck my router's portforwarding.
There's this low budget game "Soldat". Google it, it's the first result.
The free 12MB download comes with a dedicated server exe and the game exe.
So I set up a dedicated server, forwarded the required udp port, called my brother
and told him to login. Worked immediatly.
This test proves that my portforwarding settings are ok.
Next thing I tried was running the Fakeserver for Shogun.
I set it up, fired up the game (after editing my own internet-IP into
Internet.cfg) and connected to my own fakeserver.
My Firewall then prompted me that the Fakeserver was
being contacted my a "remote machine" (that was me), I accepted
the incoming connection and was thereby connected to myself via
Internet. This proves that the portforwarding of 8793 works properly.
As far as I can see, my settings are correct. I suspect that Shogun uses
more than two ports. Medieval uses at least six.
Shambles has opened a whole range of 10.000 ports (or was it 1.000?).
This is something I can't do on my router. There's no possibility
to enter a port range. Every port has to be edited manually.
So, I'd really appreciate if someone could determine, perhaps checking his
firewall's log files, the correct ports.
And yes, I'll keep talking to myself here until I get answers.
