  • What ports need opened on client?

    In the main menu, you can see/change the server/client port, so I have the ports set to forward to my PC.

    Are there additional ports that I should be fowarding through my firewall to allow me to connect to a DirectIP Server?

    If I put my PC into a DMZ, I connect fine but not when I am behind my firewall. I do not want to place my PC in the DMZ...that is why I have a firewall.

    I usually let my friend host the game. We play rarely so I never bother with MP.

    Should only be those two ports. Tip: you can change the port number(client port).

    Check your firewall access logs for additional ports.
    For example: Zone Alarm (Standard/Free version):
    • Go to "Alert & Logs".
    • Select "Log Viewer" tab.
    • @"Direction" column check for "Incoming".
    • @"Source IP" should be your friend's and @"Destination IP" yours.
    • The IP format is: ###.###.###.###:PPP
      ### = 1-255
      PPP = Port number. Which is what you want.
    • Protocol: TCP/UDP

    Hope this helps.

    EDIT:
    I assumed you want to host the game, not joining one.
