Hey all, I’m having some problems settings up a port-forwarding configuration for my game. It binds to the correct port locally(25000). On a local network, the server listing has the correct port and IP. However, when on another network, it lists my external IP address, but it lists another port(16549) as the port to connect to. I have tried port forwarding to my machine with the internal port being 25000, and the external ports being either 25000 or 16549, but neither of the combinations work. Any idea what is happening here or how to set up a forwarded server?
Port forwarding is different on every hardware so your better off searching how to do it for your specific hardware on the manufacturer website or Google.
That wasn’t my question… I know how to set up port forwarding, I’ve done it before. However, what port should I have it forward from/too, since the data given by the MasterServer for the port is different on local/public networks, and neither of those ports work.
The server port should be the one that the server is running on. Clients will however initiate on port above 1024 but they connect to the server port.
