port forwarding

[Crash]

What do I need to do BT Home Hub 3?

[Gypsy]

Found this on the interweb https://portforward.com/bt/home-hub-3/

Is that what you are looking for?

[DD_Arthur]

That looks like what he's looking for.

Crash,  for IL2 BoS you need to open ports 28000 and 28001 in both UDP and TCP.

[Crash]

Thanks for that, I found the how to info but the port settings where hard to find. How does the router know its dealing with BoX?

 

[FoolTrottel]

Hm. I have opened TCP&UDP for 28000, and only TCP for 28100

And, I have hosted with these settings!

It doesn't need to know, with these settings you instruct the router to forward all TCP/UDP traffic on these ports ending up at your router, to forward it to your PC... BoX will deal with it when it gets delivered to your PC.

I think I might have done it. We will find out Tuesday

I would like to look at hosting and have got into my router and created a rule like this. Have I put the ports in correctly?

FT will know, it could well be though

[DD_Arthur]

This is mine

[FoolTrottel]

Yours will not work Sid...

Arthur's looks much better.

One remark on those: for 28100, just TCP will do, no need for UDP.

[DD_Arthur]

TCP is good on cuts and bruises too.

...Stings a bit though...
