Torque server port numbers

by Thomas Henshell · in Technical Issues · 06/22/2003 (12:19 pm) · 7 replies

I'm trying to host a dedicated server at home that is behind a personal firewall. What are all the ports I must open for them to play?

Based on what I can see in the server log, the following port numbers are used:
28002 -- to communicate with the master server
1031 -- client request to join
1048 -- accept of client

Is this correct, and am I missing any?

This looks correct.

These numbers are not correct. Can we get a complete definitive answer to this?

I have opened these ports and the client will not connect.

Is there a multiplayer Faq?

Incoming port for multiplayer games is 28000 by default... you can tweak the server prefs.cs to change it. Outgoing for multiplayer... is probably the same, but you can check the console log if that doesn't work.

Yep, I just tested this with my brother. He is connecting from his house and I presently only have ports 28000 - 28010 open. I will further test this and see if just having 28000 will work....

By default you need to open at least 28000 -> 28001, openening up 28000 -> 28008 wouldn't hurt.

Can someone verify if you need 28000 or 28000-28010 or also 1031 /1048..

I want to only open what I need to..

I have a hosted dedicated server running and need to let them know for sure what ports to have open..

and just having 28000 seems to not work(cant fully connect)

Does anyone know whether the ports 28002, 1031, 1048 are UDP or TCP. The main port 28000 appears to be UDP. Also how do I get our game registered with the master server at GarageGames. I noticed that the following list is available at www.gnometech.com/
