HI all, hope someone can help.

I have a multi PC setup, with a Speedtouch ADSL Router.

I wanted to run a two player 1 on 1 server (should be ok on ADSL) on one of the other pc's.

I have set up the server OK, and it runs fine from any other PC on the lan.

It can also be seen from the Internet, but no one can connect. It just sits there. (ping also is at n/a)

I have added all ports from 7777-7787 in both UDP and TCP

Also 28902 for the master browser. Still nothing


Also web admin works local but not internet, So I added the command to the INI file declaring my internet IP address. Then nothing works, not even local. Delete that line and local works again.


I know it will be somethign to do with the ports and mapping because it works fine on the local lan.

Possible something missing in the ini file.

Any help greatly appriciated.

first make sure this is ok

this ports must be forwarded from your router to your server
UDP 7777 to 192.168.0.2 7777
UDP 7778 to 192.168.0.2 7778
UDP 7787 to 192.168.0.2 7787
UDP 7788 to 192.168.0.2 7788

192.168.0.2 is the intern IP of your server

this is the only think you have to do

I have tried that. Still local connections are fine. Internet connection just sits there and wont go in.

The name of the server is Twisteds Server. Ill keep it running today.

Have you tried adding
<code>-multihome=x.x.x.x</code>
to the command line?

Where x.x.x.x = the internal IP of the server?

Your cmd line would then look something like this
<code>ucc server CTF-Citadel?game=XGame.xCTFGame -multihome=192.168.0.2 ini=ut2003.ini log=twist.log</code>

Try opening 27900. I believe this port is still used for server queries.

Not working yet.. last attempt :(

My port forwarding.

7777,7778,7787,7788,28902,27900,80 both on TCP and UDP

my run command in a batch file.

@<hidden> off
:10
ucc server CTF-Citadel?game=XGame.xCTFGame multihome=10.0.0.2 ini=ut2003.ini log=twist.log
copy twist.log stwistcrash.log
goto 10

Standard INI file used, plus all the tips on how to get web access working. IT did and I can access via my local lan IP the web admin. With two fully working accounts.

LAN functions fine, I can connect from any pc on the lan directly (using the 'open' command) and if I add the local IP in to my favorites.

The server appears in the main CTF tab, with the map and number of players but n/a in the ping. If you attempt to connect then it just sits there in the entry level, but does show my actual External IP.

No connection attempt is registered on the server

I now beleive that this is the INI file that is causing my problems. Does anyone out there have a working INI file from BEHIND a router.
