does anyone know what port age of empires 2 uses ?

47624 TCP
2300-2400 TCP
2300-2400 UDP

Thanks a bunch... now my router USR 8000a-02 calls port forwarding 'virtual server' and it has a spot for the port.. do I put a separate entry for all those ports?

Not too sure... I'm reading the manual on this page here & it doesn't say anything about being able to enter a range of IP's under the Virtual Server section.
But how would you enter 100 separate entries for ports 2300-2400?

However, it seems you can enter a range of IP's under the Special Applications section, but I'm not sure what you would enter for as the trigger...

Yeah, I'm pretty confused about the trigger thing myself, I think they are really vague about that. I don't understand it.

I tried entering in some of the common applications it has and here is what it does:

battlenet
trigger 6112

incoming ports 6112

dial pad
trigger 7175

incoming ports 51200-51201,51210

msn gaming zone:

trigger

47624

incoming ports
2300-2400,28800-29000


So it looks like maybe the trigger is the TCP, and the incoming ports are the UDP ?

Sounds like that's it...
Interesting way to configure port forwarding... it was real simple on the Linksys

Indeed. What I don't udnerstand is why they decided to set up 2 different applications for port forwarding... the virtual server, and the special applications... why would they do that? it's confusing

 

[Radiohead]

The Virtual Server seems to be for forwarding incoming traffic for apps like FTP Servers or Web servers that you might have. The Special application is for outgoing... I guess

Hmmm... interesting. I'm still a little confused, but as long as it works I guess I don't care. Thanks for the help. Now hopefully if the guy taht posted thsi thread will tell us what he is trying to do, we can help him/her also.

Anytime

Yeah I think we scared HikkiFan off

The BEFSR41 isn't a Firewall it's a router (NATing != Firewall). The BEFSX41 is a Router + Firewall.

Open a command prompt then type "netstat /a > nets.txt" (without quotes) and hit enter. Then fireup AoE2 and connect to a game, return to the command prompt and run "netstat /a > net.txt" compare the two files and whichever ports are used in the second one and not the first are used by AoE2. (Note: If you're using WinXP you can use the /ao switch with netstat to get the Process IDs to see what Process is using which port(s) and compare that to the WinKey + Break (task mgr) PID list).

Thank you guys for all of your response really apperciate it... I've learn alot. I was trying to get overnet working and it's working great now thx

 

[ShowdOWN]

thanks thorin, you are a wealth of info. good tip.

 

[Lord Evermore]

Winkey+Break brings up System Properties. (I'll let everyone else figure out the right combo. )

You can look at the basic netstat -a list and see the IP address of the machine the port is open to. Either you already know the IP, or you know a domain name and can look it up with nslookup or just ping it.

Another useful one (2K & XP ... maybe NT) is ctrl+shift+esc = Task Manager.
