Guest Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Hi, no servers are showing up when i click on browse. I am playing on a wireless network. do i need to forward a port to my router? If so what port does this new MTA use. Also when i try to type in an ip and port on quick connect it says unable to connect time out. Any help would be most appreciated!
eAi Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 You shouldn't need to change any port settings, inbound to play MTA. You should really allow all outgoing ports.
Guest Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Thanks, any idea how i open all outgoing ports?
Guest Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Your problem is most likley a software firewall, just disable any firewall when ever you play MTA, then enable it when finished...
Guest Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I have already disabled my firewall, tried forwarding ports too. what port does mta use? mta 5.0 used 2003 i think, i have tried forwarding that port but still no servers in the browser. maybe its just not meant to be. i will have to try my other pc
Kent747 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 port binding is only done on the server, the clien allocates an arbitrary port, most routers will allow this just fine, if you have a software firewall you may have to set it to specifically allow the client to connect. As far as port forwarding goes, however, you shouldnt have to do anything for the client. we couldn't even tell you a port to forward, as the port is different every time you run the game. Kent
alwSmokE Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 As far as hosting a server, ports need to be forwarded right? I have had the biggest problem trying to host a server. I have DSL and a router. I've read every post and cannot get it to work. portforward.com tells me how to do it , but it just doesnt work. I can connect to my server using localhost but it wont show up in browser or ASE. Are there any other options for me?
orappa Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Remember that the ASE port is the game port + 123.
alwSmokE Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) I thought that would have fixed it, but no. Edited January 25, 2006 by Guest
By-Stander Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Have you asked other people if they see it? Because YOU wont if its local. ASE doesn't show local servers.
alwSmokE Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 well crap, I wonder if it is set up right... I've been obsessing over this for like almost 3 days now...
Kent747 Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 best way to do it is to get a friend to look for it, or to leave the server running while you play Kent
><CHAIN>< Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 You shouldn't need to change any port settings, inbound to play MTA. You should really allow all outgoing ports. This kind of contradicts what eAi said but, I have Zone Alarm Pro (software firewall) on my PC and I have to configure Zone Alarm to allow incoming connections for the "Program" GTA_SA.EXE otherwise I cannot receive the server list. All I get is a list of unknown servers with 9999 ping, although it does show the number of servers in the bottom right (which is probably obtained with an 'aoutbound' connection. I dont have to port forward but thats because my PC has a public IP address. Hope this is of some help.
