Firewalls and multiplayer

impearse · 02-14-06, 08:28 AM

I know this has probably come up before, but I couldn't find it on a search. My bruv is trying to cretae a game I can connect to. He has set the ports up on his router firewall as suggested in numerous postings, but when I look at the game on screen, there is still no ping number, and I get the message about not being able to join until there is a ping, and the game is probably behind a firewall. Anyone else with experience of a hardware firewall like to suggest any other settings to check?

I am afraid I found the only way to join or create a game is turn firewall way down,or off.

make sure these ports are forwarded and DONT run a Software Firewall :

8 Players can join: TCP/UDP 17997 -> 18003
Ubi Ping: TCP 667
Ubi.com: TCP/UDP 40000 -> 42000
Ubi.com2: TCP/UDP 43500

Rely on your NAT/Hardware Firewall when hosting a SH3 MPlayer game
