[TM2] Firewall problems

[EtgarSH]

which router are you using?

which firewall / anti-virus are you using on your machine? Some do still block even if disabled.

One thing to see if the port is free on your machine: open a cmd window and enter the following command:
netstat -na
if the ports are liste there even if ManiaPlanet or the dedicated server are not running, then you have some other tool that is using the ports.

Netgear
Windows Defender. Mcaffee, but I deleted it. I used netstat -na and I didn't see 3450 and 2350.

ok.
Now if you run simply ManiaPlanet (with default network settings: Ports 2350, 3450), you should see them using netstat -na.
Same for the dedicated server.
If you try to run both (dedicated server and client) make sure you have configured different ports in the client and in the server.

When I started the dedicated server I did netstat -na and I saw only port 2350. it was like this:
[0.0.0.0] (strange):2350

If the server and the firewall are configured properly,
you should see the following with netstat:
Protocol local address
TCP 0.0.0.0:2350
TCP 0.0.0.0:3450
UDP 0.0.0.0:2350

It is 0.0.0.0 as long as no one connected.

TCP is used to establish the connection, and later it is used as fallback if UDP is not working properly.
But for the ingame data exchange (P2P etc) UDP is used by preference.

Please check the console output of the dedicated server in case there is an error there.
