How to: UT2k3 server to Internet

RouterOS General
1

I need to setup a Unreal Tournament 2003 server (in fact it is an America’s Army server, but the config should be same to UT2k3 server)

So, I got a fast net connection. I host a server and my friends can’t connect to my server. I drop a connection to my router (PPPoE connection to router!) and establish an ISDN connection, directly on my computer where the game server is hosted. They can connect then.

So, the router must be blocking the traffic.

server LAN ip: 192.168.1.84
internet IP: dynamic, currently 89.172.x.x
MT ver. 2.8.10 (really don’t have time to update!)

I’ve opened these ports:
(destination NAT >> for ALL ports same thing >
src. address 0.0.0.0/0,
interface my dsl modem (!! not the ethernet interface on which the modem is connected, but the PPPoE connection TO the modem !!),
dst. address 0.0.0.0/0:port + protocol,
action tab > to my local IP (192.168.1.84) and ports 0-65536)

1716-1718 UDP
27900 UDP
8777 UDP
14200 TCP
20025-20047 TCP
25000-26000 TCP

And they can’t connect. Those ports are listed on America’s Army official website and those are the only which should be open…

So… what the problem could be…

Thanks in advance.

what do you have on the firewall? You need to first start accepting packets on the Firewall.

I know there is a better way but after u have the firewall accepting packets, then i just use the NETMAP action on my Nat Rules to point to the actual 192.168 server behind ur NAT.

btw; expect to get alot of flaming from ppl with RTFM and stuff…which u should do actually..but i know ur just trying to set this one thing up, not route traffic for a city.

on the firewall tab, which ports should be accepted? those are dropped, although i tried with all those disabled… 135-139, 1025, 5000, 8081, 1025, all of these UDP and TCP…

Thanks for support mate :slight_smile:
