Under normal circumstances you shouldn't need to edit the port range in the .INI to get the DS working.
All you need to do is forward the Ports TCP+UDP 48942 – 48957 and UDP 26900-26907 in the Router and\or Firewall to the server IP address. You should then be able to Host on one PC and connect on either LAN or Internet to your server using your Client PC.
If that doesn't work you may have to forward additional Ports UDP 48958-48973 to the Server IP also.
Some Routers seem to have problems Hosting and Playing from the same connection and you may also have issues Hosting and Playing on the same computer.
Hey guys!
I do still dealing with my server/router setup because i can launch my Race 07 dedicated server, i can see it over the multiplayer(internet lobby) and LAN, but the thing is that neither me nor anybody can´t log in my multiplayer server.
When i launch my dedi server i just can log in and race by LAN and suddenly after i've just press on start button all my LAN server gets crowed with AI drivers???(the first time ive launch a server and i've got so excited i was chatting with them but nobody answer, lol :S)
when i just launch Race 07 without the server i can see and log normally on multiplayer lobby.
So, I do have some questions for ya.:
1.- What do ya think is going on, could it just be that i can´t race and host Race 07 with the same pc?
2.- What about my router ports?. I've set them up but how do i know they both have been set properly up and are working?
3.- It´s supposed i do have to copy Race07 ports from my routers config to my dedicated server?
I´ve not found any spot to paste them over the steam Race07 server.
I´ve just found "Competition server mode", Competition ID", and Server ID" at the first window of
my dedi server.
4.-When i opened the ports over my router, the first thing ive gotta fill in was that smtp,ftp,pc anywhere,html, etc. I´ve just chose ftp. Which is the right one to click on?.
Then u fill up the ports, starting and ending, ur fixed pc ip, gateway.
Looks like I´ve got no problem with the ping, cause it gets as low as 4 never saw it going over a 1000.
Thanks so much!
Martin.
