list of ports?

[e laursen]

This could also belong in networking, but it has to do with games...

Does anyone know where I can get a list of the ports that are used with various games. The reason I ask is so I can pinhole the router for each specific game. Not all games have information in the manual, or on the website. Any info for specific games is also appreciated; I can complie a list and re-post it later, or this can be a living post...

Thanks all.

I care about D2, UT, NFS (hs and porche), HL, and SOF. But a bigger list might be useful to others.

Are you hosting the server or joining the server?

Hosting.

The problem is that when you host froom behind the router/firewall, others cannot TCP/IP to your computer. In order to allow access, without exposing your computer entirely to the internet, you need to turn on NAT and "pinhole" specific ports.

I am looking for the specific ports for whatever game(s) people have information.

For what it's worth, CS can use any port you want (advanced settings under hosting a game), but the standard is 27015.

It's a start!

HL also uses 27016. The last version opened up 27005 and 27025 also, the game warns you about it though.
