Aries101 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hello guys. I hope I am at right place. Now, I want to host a game for a couple of friends, nothing special, just simple mission for practice. Nowm what I do need to have enabled on my PC (network wise) to be able to host game and that my friends can join in. I am aware of need for powerfull PC, but I wanted to check cant I at least host simple missions. So what I need is Firewall settings, network settings. maybe even router (modem) settings and things like that. We tried it last night and my friends usually got kicked out to main server selection screen. All help is apreciated.

Maverick87Shaka Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) First of all, you need a public IP. Some ISP puts their users in a NAT network due to the lack of available IP4 address. That's mean that ISP can share the same public IP address within multiple users. You can check HERE, if shows your approximate position, you should have a public IP ( Note this IP number for further troubleshooting ) Second step is to make sure that your router is going to forward all incoming connection on DCS port to you computer, that's mean you have to login in the router web page, and setup the appropriate rules. Every Router Brand call it in different way: NAT, port forward, services etc.. Tell us your modem/router model and we can help you on that! Last step is to make sure firewall software on your computer should allow the dcs connection. On windows firewall it's pretty simple, search the advanced windows firewall settings, select inbound rules, then on the right side select new rules. Select Port, then specify TCP and the port number ( default is 10308 ), allow on each network connection type, private, domain and public, give a name, and save. Then repeat these step and select UDP, and save thees rule. Try and let us know if you have a problem with a specific step.

Aries101 Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Ok. So it seems that I have all set correctly in my firewall. Only thing needed is to check modem. I have speedport W 724V. I hope that it helps. I also see port diversions and forwarding section.

Aries101 Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Ok guys I figured it out (how to enter port forwarding) SO I added same 10308 port to TCP and UDP and it worked like a charm.

Rudel_chw Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Can this expose ones personal computer to attack if hosting from it? You would need malicious software installed on your PC and listening to that port .. not likely.
