Firewalls

[Guiaca]

Hey there!

 

I recently come back to renegade and I'm loving it, works as a treat at home. I work as a game developer and we often have game nights, or sometimes just play during lunch hour. I wanted to get renegade set up so i can play at work. 

 

First i tried to use renlist, but it wouldn't populate the server list, i assumed a firewall problem, the firewall is managed by an external company, since there are lots of gamers in the office its not uncommon to put in a request to open certain ports, I was unable to find out details about which ports are specifically blocked for renlist. I realized that I mostly play Jelly server and sometimes rencorner, so i got those unlocked and launch the game from command line using the ip and port.

 

Unfortunately I just get "Joining Game....". Is there anything else i have missed, some other ports that need unblocking? I was asked to check if the ports i asked for were unlocked so they could close the ticket. It could be that they are not open, but it could be that I've missed something else. Anyone know? 

 

Cheers!

 

Other info:

I set up renegade as specified in the thread on this forum, using the same steps I used at home. 

I have a valid game key

The server is running on port 1337 and IP is 69.162.64.90

Not sure about renlist, but if you can join Jelly and RenCorner, i don't see why you can't join ours O.o *weird*.

Once there was a guy that used Google:

 

Publisher: EA Format: PC TCP Ports 3840, 4005, 4808, 4810, 4995, 7000-7002 UDP Ports 1234-1237

So you are saying I need to open those ports too? And to clarify I can't get on jelly and rencorner at work. Only at home.

I don't say it will work for 100% sure, but it is worth a shot isn't it? The problem might be more on your ports than on the ports of the server.

 

However if you feel like you need these server ports, take a look on the Gamespy serverlist:

http://tools.poweredbygamespy.com/masterserver/index.aspx?gamename=ccrenegade&fields=%5Chostname%5Chostport%5Ccountry%5Cnumplayers%5Cmaxplayers%5Cgametype%5Cmapname&overridemaster=&filter=

(look for the hostport, not the publicport)

 

And if you have lost connection, then it also keeps displaying that connect message, so you also have to be sure your connection is working correctly.
