Help! Router And Ports..

Vighi

Me and my friend wanted to play ns, just me and him and maybe some more people but the problem is that i have a router and therfor i need to know alle the ports ns use.. Anyone know what ports it uses?
Any thing else i should now?, becouse when i tries to connect it says the server has 2000 latency and he cant connect..
we use the newst steam version of ns..



Thank you =)

27030-27039 192.168.0.1 tcp'

those are listed as cs-ports
7002-7003 192.168.0.1 tcp'
27005-27015 192.168.0.1 udp'
27005-27015 192.168.0.1 tcp'
5273 192.168.0.1 tcp'


just use them all and you should be fine
if you want them more exact you should try to browse the steam-faq on <a href='http://www.steampowered.com' target='_blank'>steampowered.com</a>

unless you are hosting a server you do not need to open/foward any ports.

Now, questions:

Who is hosting the server?
What are their sys specs?
how are you 2 connected? (LAN, same block, same state, same country?)

ok, so yah...

just pop those ports in that surprise gave you and it should work....

surprise

as long as you give them your ip, beacause they should not be able to join via servermenu in steam...
i think they cant see the server there

edit
<a href='http://www.whatismyip.com/' target='_blank'>your ip</a>

they join my server from the friends list..

1200 192.168.0.1 udp'
27000-27015 192.168.0.1 udp'
27030-27039 192.168.0.1 tcp'

those are listed as cs-ports
7002-7003 192.168.0.1 tcp'

27005-27015 192.168.0.1 tcp'
5273 192.168.0.1 tcp'

I got d-link router, and where do you want me to place this 192.168.0.1? Isnt this just the routers ip?

surprise

the 192.268.0.1 is my computers ip..

so you have to change it to yours

routers ip should be 192.168.1.0 ? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

i have a simular problem. I run a server and some ppl cant connect it just freezes at 3 bars and i know for a fact this has something to do with routers / firewalls
because my friend never had this problem until he bought his router now he cant connect and it just freezes at 3 bars

if your ip starts 192.168 then this is ur internal ip with the network, you need to find ur external ip, the site suprise showed you should do that.
