I like tea...

Im still experimenting with it. Ill see if I can still work with it out of the DMZ. I know we have servers here at work that are in the DMZ and we have yet to have a problem with them. (Terminal server, FTP server, etc..)

**MrShawn305** · 11-20-2008, 06:41 PM

Well I just took my server out of the DMZ and now I cant get into it. Ill have to re-enable it when I get home. Ill look into it and see if there is a fix. RDP port is already forwarded to the server

Thats because I put it back on the DMZ when I got home from work. It was already time to go home and I live 5 minutes from the office. I got out of work at 5. :P

Ghostwall resolved my issue of not having enough available routes in the Linksys to open the necessary ports. So I just DMZ the DVR's IP, configured the necessary ports in Ghostwall, and all is well.

The server is a Windows 2003 4g mem 2,9ghz 1T Hdd,
Router is a netgear rangemax

Is there a list of ports? or a iptable script.
Anyone done this before that maybe able to help.

Dunstunuk

These are the only ports you need forwarded for an unranked server (based on what you put in your server config file):

UDP 29900 Gamespy (if you want your server to show up in the game browser)
UDP 16567 (or whatever you decide the game port will be)
UDP 55125 (voip)
TCP 4711 (if you wish to use rcon)

Some settings you need in your server config file:

sv.internet 1
sv.serverIP "your interface ip, not your public ip"
sv.serverPort 16567 (or whatever you decide the game port will be)
sv.allowNATNegotiation 1
sv.interfaceIP "your interface ip, not your public ip"
sv.voipServerPort 55125
sv.gameSpyPort 29900

Hi

Well as soon as I put in so that the interface IP points outwards it does not ruin, just sorta hangs there in limbo, I have ghostwall to see what ports are being spoken too, and the UDP 29900 Gamespy one is the ionly one so far that gets listed, I have allowed it out and in, so Im not sure whats wrong.

DB- you would not happen to know how to point the bf2w32ded.exe file to use the custom .con files would you? Thats really the only place Im hanging on my server.

Dunstonuk- Your going to want to register a dynamic DNS account and set it up in your router. I dont know how to do it in your model but in the Linksys routers there is a section named ddns. You can register for a free ddns account at www.dyndns.com thats where I got mine. You then will be able to access it from outside the internet with a name and not have to remember your IP address. You can also go the your home page in the ddns website and it will tell you the current IP. Of course, if you have a static IP from your ISP then you dont need this. I dont know how it works over there, but here we all have dynamic unless its a business account.

Im not sure if this works in BF2 but I know in TF2 you can drop to console and type "connect shawnllorca.dyndns.org" and that would take you to my TF2 server for example.

Have you tried opening all of the necessary ports? If not you should probably try that. You can look on www.portforward.com to find all of the needed ports for BF2. Thats where I found the list for mine.

I have a static IP. most UK isp providers give them out "par say" because of tracing DL frpm P2P.
Will check out portforward later on and post.

This is wrong. This needs to be your LAN IP , not your public IP.
Same value as sv.interfaceIP 192.168.XX.XX

This is my POE2 config:

You should see this traffic:

"28","30.474256","192.168.0.222","207.38.11.174"," UDP","Source port: 29900 Destination port: 27900"
"29","30.474294","192.168.0.222","207.38.11.174"," UDP","Source port: 29900 Destination port: 29910"
"51","57.343169","192.168.0.222","216.240.146.139" ,"UDP","Source port: 16567 Destination port: 16567"
"52","57.390339","216.240.146.139","192.168.0.222" ,"UDP","Source port: 16567 Destination port: 16567"

Game browsers will query on UDP 29900.
VOIP: inbound on UDP 55125

PunkBuster uses the game port in and out (UDP 16567)

So:

Inbound: UDP 29900, UDP 16567, UDP 55125
Outbound: UDP 27900, UDP 29910, UDP 16567

Hope this helps

Do you mean a different serversettings.con file ?

I run a Linux server so no bf2w32ded.exe for me
