Testing port forwarding

Post by MIYH »

I'm trying to get my home network configured to allow me to join online games. But, when I make a change, I need to test to see if it works. I found the website below that might let me do just that kind of test. Can someone with a working configuration go there and see if the website correctly identifies your ports for the game are open? Does the game need to be running when you do the test?

That one didn't work for me, but I know 2300-2400 are open, as is 6073 & my game works. Try this one: http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm
You'll be limited to the trial version, but the port checking tool will accurately check your ports. Pick a time tomorrow that you're able to come to Voobly and I'll see if it works with my schedule. If not, we'll shoot for another day/time. One way or another we'll get you hooked up! ;)

Edit: If you find yourself in Voobly and I don't answer in the main, shoot me a IM. Sometimes I'm at the computer, but heavily immersed in something else so I don't know know what's going on in the main.

Just noticed you''re in CA, so you're probably still sleeping lol. I'll be in Voobly after noon your time for a few hours if you want to play around with your settings/ports.
