Need some help. I have all my servers setup and they all execute and confirm, but when you try to access from the game you cannot get in. It shows that there is an incoming TCIP connection to the server but thats it and the user times out.
Normally with these issues on AA we have to open the following ports and I am not sure where to add these (i have opened all ports in TCIP):
1716 thru 1718
8777
14200
20025 thru 20048
27900
and for Teamspeak we will need 8767
Thanks

Re: Americas Army Port Opening
Are you restricting outbound connections at all? If so, you likely need to open it up so that it can make these, in order to contact the game's authentication servers / punkbuster.
To see exactly what it's trying to do, I'd recommend running a program like WireShark or Windump. These will show you all the traffic, so that you can determine exactly what hosts it's trying to contact.
You can also use the following command to see what ports it has open locally -- information that will make configuring the inbound firewall:
Just match up the "PID" column with the AA server's PID there (you can find its PID through the task manager, or by looking at other ports that you know it's using).
One other thing you'll need to do is to make sure that UDP is allowed. Game servers mainly use UDP.

Ok i will try that, but how do I access the inbound firewall to open ports?
Re: Americas Army Port Opening
In Windows 2003, you can change the firewall settings through the "Advanced" page under the "Properties" for your network adapter.
If this is for a dedicated machine and not a VDS, I strongly recommend that you experiment with the firewall on your home equipment first, and make sure that there is always an exception in for Remote Desktop. I also do not recommend running a firewall in general, in favor of the security precautions mentioned in this thread: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =44&t=4025.
If you have a VDS, on the other hand, feel free to experiment. Firewall issues are easy to fix on those.
