Forget who wrote this a lot of it is for routers . The port is the first number after UDP or TCP after that it is just the ip address 192.168.0.2 followed by the port number again . That ip would be one behind a router yours will be different if you are not behind a router and it maybe just linksys routers .

Port List Guide

QuickList:
1) Collect IP Information

2) Configure Port Blocking/Forwarding on your Firewall

Overview:
Firewalls and Routers are restrictive by design, and have to be setup to allow the MoHAA/GameSpy traffic to reach your server. In some cases this is done by allowing traffic thru a Port Blocking filter and/or directing it to a specific IP Address using Port Forwarding.

Instructions:
Unfortunately I cannot give specific instructions that would cover every program out there, but I can give some general info to get you going. The most common situations seem to be broadband internet routers and personal firewalls such as Black Ice Defender or Norton. Both of these use port blocking, and personal firewalls can often be changed on the fly to a "low" setting. You'll most likely be using a web based interface for a router, and will have to enter in the actual port numbers to unblock. Less commonly seen is Port Forwarding, which is usually found in the more intelligent routers and dedicated firewall machines, like a Linux box. Oftentimes the game server will be on a network segement that has special security to protect the rest of your network while making it easy for Internet users to access the server. This is known as the DMZ or De-Militarized Zone, since it represents a border or buffer zone between your protected machines and the wilds of the 'net.

I have collected the information on the following table from various websites and documents on MoHAA and GameSpy. A server must use at minimum the ports in bold, the rest are for GameSpy/ASE; and I have used 192.168.0.2 as an example of the Game Server's IP Address.
Port Forwarding Table

Service Proto Source port Destination IP Destination port
MoHAA - Default Server Game Port UDP 12203 192.168.0.2 12203
MoHAA - GameSpy Monitoring Port UDP 12300 192.168.0.2 12300
GameSpy - Query Port UDP 6500 192.168.0.2 6500
GameSpy - Dplay UDP UDP 6515 192.168.0.2 6515
GameSpy - Custom UDP Pings UDP 13139 192.168.0.2 13139
GameSpy - Master Server UDP Heartbeat UDP 27900 192.168.0.2 27900
GameSpy - Master Server List Request TCP 28900 192.168.0.2 28900
GameSpy - GP Connection Manager TCP 29900 192.168.0.2 29900
GameSpy - GP Search Manager TCP 29901 192.168.0.2 29901
MoHAA - Demo Monitoring Port (Legacy) UDP 12201 192.168.0.2 12201
MoHAA - Alt Game Port (Optional w/ net_port) UDP 12202 192.168.0.2 12202
MoHAA - Alt Game Port (Optional w/ net_port) UDP 12210 192.168.0.2 12210
GameSpy - Voice Chat Port (Optional) UDP 3783 192.168.0.2 3783
GameSpy - IRC Chat (Optional) UDP 6667 192.168.0.2 6667

Taken from the Spearhead manual

TCP port 12203 (default ), 12204 - 12218
Master UDP port: 12300
Server UDP port 12203 (default), 12204 -12218

Note: you will need TCP and UPD ports 6667, 3783,27900,28900.29900.29901.13139 and 6515 open to use Gamespy to connect to Internet servers

Try here first.

I really think we should make reading this document mandatory at registration time.

Type your router IP in the browser addy bar 192.168.sumtin another

Then you have to open the gaming ports, Its like dmz or sumtin like that.

i typed in the router ip thing thats done but i don't know how to open the game port

Posted: **Sat Jul 29, 2006 8:31 am**

Does your router come with a manual? If so, read the (f.....g) thing

Posted: **Sat Jul 29, 2006 10:18 am**

When did this problem start what did you add to your computer or is it a new computer ? Did you just get a new router or never had one before ? Were you ever able to play mohaa on this computer ?
