You might want to check it again and make sure it's for UDP, and it's forwarded to the right IP, and is marked as active, etc. If you're not interested in the gory details, you can stop reading here. I watched everything with a packet sniffer and I think I see what's going wrong. When FS2004 searches, it tries whatever port you have it set to (default = 23456) as well as the "alternate DirectPlay port", 6073. What's supposed to happen is that the DirectPlay on the FSHost machine will respond to the request on 23456, and also respond to the request to 6073, but when it responds to 6073 it actually responds back on 23456 as well (or occasionally on a port in the 2302-2400 range, I don't fully understand why). But I'm not getting anything back for the 6073 request, so I'm guessing that the FSHost machine is never getting it.įS2004 does something else here also. If you tell it to search on 23456, it searches 234, as I said above. But if you tell it to search on anything other than 23456, for example 23457, then it searches three ports: 23456, 6073, and 23457. In other words, it always searches on 234, regardless of what you tell it to use, and then it searches on the requested port as well if it's not 23456. #Fsnavigator for fs9 world database install.
