Default How do I get my server listed in Gamespy? - 08-31-2002, 06:07 PM

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.

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!

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.

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

Should be under routing or port forwarding

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.

There's a complete guide to all of the questions you asked in the MOH:AA FAQ at the top of this forum.
