Ports?

[thomas]

For a game I am plying, I need to make sure
"The following ports must be "open":
UDP 1200
UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive
TCP 27030 to 27039 inclusive"

How could I go about making sure these ports are open?

If the machine you are using is directly connected to the Internet (it
has a public IP address) then you just need to run the game and if your
firewall asks if you want to let it listen on those ports, say "Yes".

If you are behind a firewall or Internet Connection Sharing, you have to
open ports in the firewall. If the game and firewall are universal plug
and play compliant, they can do this themselves.

They give this information in case you have a hardware firewall/router and
need to forward the ports, or if you're running a personal firewall and want
to make sure it doesn't block the ports. The game itself will attempt to
open the ports.

Depends on how you are connected. Are you on DSL? Do you
have a router? Firewall?
