How do I get my server listed in Gamespy?
 

Hi all,

I've setup my first MOHAA FFA server but althouh I set gamespy to show in the gamespy browser it isn't there?

Does it take some time to get listed or do I need to submit it somewhere? I'd really apreciate any help because I can't wait to get it seen by everyone!

if you've checked the "use internet (gamespy)" then it should show up in the browsers. Sometimes when I start my server I could wait 20 minutes until somebody shows up, or I could wait 10 seconds, it just depends on your luck.

Got it working...
 

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, but I was setting up a dedicated server behind a firewall. I had to study my firewall logs in the end to see why it wasn't getting through, and although port 12203 was allowed through I had to allow the following:

UDP: 6500, 6515, 12201, 12202, 12203, 12210, 12300, 13139, 27900

TCP: 28900, 29900, 29901

Most of these are Gamespy ports that I guess are required for the Gamespy browser.

You are correct sir.

Any time you use a firewall you need to open a lot of ports for gamespy.

I always wondered why gamespy needs all these ports!

I am having the same problem as u i noticed that only 12203 was going through how do i get the rest of the ports to go through?

use a rule like this for both Mohaa.exe and gamespy (alpha.exe?)

allow | TCP/UDP | all local ports | all remote addresses | all remote ports

sounds unsecure but its not.

Where do i change the settings at?

Your router. Break out your manual and find out how to access it.

Should be under routing or port forwarding

Because Gamespy sucks :)

Amen

those rules were for a firewall so that any traffic sent to/from these programs would be allowed. If you use a router you need to forward ports in your router software config. I would suggest turning off your firewall and just try getting it to work through your router first as the router will provide adequate security while youre testing.
