Run A Server Behind A NAT Router

Hi all, well, this is a copy of a post in a thread i made in a private section. Maybe this would help other guys. Enjoy !

Hi Dom, here the short tutorial. Tell me if it's understandable. Normally, there shouldn't be any problems (unless the Internet icon doesn't show up).

1)Go to the control pannel


2)Once in the control pannel, double click on the Connections Icon


3)You should see both icons (for local and Internet). Note that you can see your local ip (for the machine you are on right now) by double clicking on the local network icon, that will probably help you to fill in the ip field in step 7.


4)Go to the properties of your Internet connection


5)In the little window that has just appeared, click on "parameters"


6)You are now in the dialog box that allow you to add new services. Click on "Add" to add more


7)Fill the field as follow (you will add 5 new rules, their name, in the ip field, add the ip of the machine that hosts the server):

[1]name : master server uplink, Internal/External port = 28909, TCP
[2]name : game port, Internal/External port = 7777, UDP
[3]name : query port, Internal/External port = 7778, UDP
[4]name : gamespy uplink, Internal/External port = 7787 UDP
[5]name : pariah listen port (for webAdmin), Internal/External port = 8888 (see your pariah.ini file if you set a different port, search for "webserver" or "listenport" in that file), TCP

Run the game, start a dedicated server, go back in the game, refresh the active servers, if you see yours, you're done, that's all, you made it . By the way, i think that only 3 rules are enough (1, 2, 3), if i remember well, i've already ran servers with only these 3 rules and it worked perfectly. Tell me if you have any question

[EDIT] : i checked and ports 7777 and 7778 are enough to run the server

is that what french looks like.... huh...

Yeah lol ! Long life to the french !
But there are more ugly languages ... such as Venom's language that nobody can (wanna) translate !!

lmao, or DOM's pool chat.

Sometimes, the interenet connection icon doesn't show. I found another way to do it. I'll update that tutorial ... btw, i should put that in eht tutorial section ... that's logic

[EDIT] : done

Show off. lol

Cool desktop pic.

i have yet to update that tutorial. There is a way to configure the without using the internet icon. I'll do that one of those days, i have more time now.

Well it's not like you posted this 6 months ago. You're still cool with me. lol
