Initial port forwarding documentation

New page

Subgame and ASSS both require a port to be open for them to work. This means any software firewall on your system needs to permit incoming connections to the server software. Also, on your router if you have one (usually blue/grey box between cable/DSL modem and your computer), you will need to [http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm forward ports] so incoming connections are sent to your computer.

The port range you'll need to forward can be found in your [[server.ini]] under [[Server.ini#Port|Misc:Port]]. You'll need to forward both this port value ''and'' the value one above this.

Example: If your <nowiki>[Misc] Port=1200</nowiki>, you'll need to forward both 1200 ''and'' 1201. If you do not correctly forward the port one above that choosen in the settings, no one will be able to 'ping' your zone, and it will look red on Continuum's menu.
