Port Settings for Special Applications

  • Overview

    See Related Articles (at right) for step-by-step instructions on (1) How to configure ports on your router and (2) How to connect a console game (Nintendo Game Cube, PlayStation 2, or XBox) to a router.

    The following special application port information is provided as a courtesy, based on customer input. We do not provide technical support for these applications. Please contact the software provider for further assistance.

    NOTE: If the server is behind the same router/firewall as other clients, then all of the clients will have to add "+set net_port 27961," "27962," etc. to their shortcut command lines. Otherwise, they will not be able to use the in-game internet game browser. This is due to the fact that EF uses the same port (27960) for both the client and the server.

    eMule
    The following is an excerpt from eMule FAQ at http://emule-project.net/:

    Note: When using a router in a network the option DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol in the router should be turned off. Assign static IPs to each client in the network.

    The following list shows the ports used by eMule when using it's default settings. If you change anything in Preferences -> Connection you will have to take the changes into account when configuring your firewall or router.

    1) Local Port: 4662
    Remote Port: any
    Protocol: TCP
    Direction: incoming
    Purpose: Client Port / Connections from other clients
    Note: You can change this port in Preferences -> Connection -> Client Port
    This port has to be forwarded in a router. Changing this port in Preferences you must also change the forwarding in the router

    2) Local Port: any
    Remote Port: 4662
    Protocol: TCP
    Direction: outgoing
    Purpose: Client Port / Connections to other clients
    Note: 4662 is the default port, but other clients may have different settings. Change the remote port to any when configuring a firewall

    3) Local Port: 4672
    Remote Port: any
    Protocol: UDP
    Direction: incoming
    Purpose: Clients source asking / extended eMule protocol
    Note: This port has to be forwarded in a router. Changing this port in Preferences you must also change the forwarding in the router.
    If you are not able to forward this port check the disable box in Preferences -> Connection -> UDP Port

    4) Local Port: any
    Remote Port: 4672
    Protocol: UDP
    Direction: outgoing
    Purpose: Clients source asking / extended eMule protocol
    Note: 4672 is the default port, but other clients may have different settings. Change the remote port to any when configuring a firewall

    5) Local Port: any
    Remote Port: 4661
    Protocol: TCP
    Direction: outgoing
    Purpose: Connection to server
    Note: 4661 is the default port of a server. Many server use different ports. Configuring a firewall the remote port again changes to any.

    6) Local Port: any
    Remote Port: 4665
    Protocol: UDP
    Direction: outgoing
    Purpose: Source asking on servers
    Note: Servers using the default port 4661 TCP (see #5) automatically set their port for source asking to 4665 UDP. If a server uses a different port in #5 the corresponding UDP port is set to [Connection Port + 4]. For firewalls the remote port here is any.

    ICQ

    ICQ should work through a 2602, 2614, or 2623 router, without a firewall enabled, without configuration.

    To configure ICQ to work through a firewall, see this ICQ KB Article:
    http://www.icq.com/icqtour/firewall/netadmin.html.

    If this does not work, the only solution to this issue that we are aware of at this time is to set up the other PC as a DMZ host. Please see [Related Articles] in the right-hand frame for further information.

    NetMeeting 2.0, 3.0
    also Intel Video Phone, H.323 compliant video players

    Microsoft NetMeeting will not work behind a NAT firewall because its audio feature requires dynamic ports. There are two ways to overcome this:

    1. To use NetMeeting without audio, open all the ports for these triggers: Triggers = 389, 522, 1503, 1024, 1720, 1731 Incoming ports (the same for all triggers) = 1-64535.
    2. To use NetMeeting with audio, put your NetMeeting PC into a DMZ, which will open all TCP ports. (When the NetMeeting call is made, the program randomly picks one of the ports within the range of 1,024 - 65,535.)

    Note: The DMZ function is incompatible with Virtual Server, and opens that PC to certain security risks. See the Related Article (at right) for further information on DMZs.

    Neverwinter Nights

    Note: The following instructions are from the Neverwinter Nights Technical FAQ

    If you are trying to play through a firewall of some sort, here is some information for you to help you get connected. Neverwinter Nights uses UDP, not TCP for its connections. If you think that your firewall is preventing you from connecting to the game servers, please make sure that the following ports are open:

    Ports 5120 through 5300
    Port 6500
    Port 27900
    Port 28900

    In addition to opening the ports listed above, you may need to allow incoming connections on the port you are running your server on (5121 by default) and forward those connections to the computer running the server.

    If your server does not appear on the GameSpy game list:

    • Verify that it is does not appear for other users. It may not be appearing for you because your game is published by your external IP address, this address may not be valid from inside your firewall.
    • Verify that the server is accessible from the Internet, have a friend Direct Connect using your external IP address (ie not 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.*.*, these are local addresses).
    • If you are starting your module from the command line of the Windows or Linux dedicated server, try starting it from within the application.
    • If your module is very large or contains very large areas, try breaking it up into smaller pieces.
    • If you are wanting to make sure that your NAT is set up to allow the game to play here are some details.

    Outgoing packets

    Source port: 5120-5129
    Destination port: 5121-5300

    Incoming packets

    Source port: 5121-5300
    Destination port: 5120-5129

    On the Game Client side, here are some changes to make things go better. Go to your nwnplayer.ini file in your Neverwinter Nights install directory, and find the following section:

    [Profile]
    Client Port=XXXX

    Our suggestion is to change XXXX to 5120.

    Note: This information is from Bioware, not Efficient Networks, and is presented here simply as a courtesy to our customers; we do not provide technical support for Neverwinter Nights.

    Quake 3
    Each computer playing Quake 3 must use a different port number starting at 27660 and incrementing by 1. You'll also need to do the following:
