Does anyone know if the ports (6112 and 30260) are the same for vCoH on steamworks?

Cheers

if your savy with your router you can use somthing called universial plugin play (UPnP).

Failure is always an option.

It's a happy massacre?! (yes, yes it is!)

So if that's turned on in my router settings, does that mean you don't need to forward the ports? At least not on the router, i imagin i 'd still need to do it for windows firewall?

Sorry if i'm missing the point, i'm not tech savvy.

basically when your using a port it opens it. im not sure on the details but mine doesn't get bothered by windows fire wall. but since your not tech savy just open ports atleast thats my view seems easier.

Hi,

I've had a bit of a tinker, and just using UPnP seems to work as well as having all the relevant ports forwarded in the router settings. Like you say, windows firewall doesn't seem to interfere at all.

It's funny, on the old servers; opening ports either in the router settings or through windows firewall, made no difference. The thing that made a massive difference was going to computer --> network (in the side panel, Windows 7)-->right click on modem, properties, settings and then adding the ports there. I wonder if adding the steamworks ports there would have an effect?

Which of the ports on the list on post #2, do you think pertain to the steam version of CoH?

im by no means an expert but perhaps you have 2 firewalls. i know sometimes windows will auto set one up in your computer and then you'll have another one in your router.
