Running A Game Server

OK, When I try to run a game server with the network rules off, it works. However, run I turn them on, even though I had none set to block anything, it no longer worked.

So right now I have the rules turned off until I can figure this out…

I really am new to this whole firewall thing… Any help would be appreciated. :smiley:

Create Inbound rules for any ports that your server uses.

I tried that. And in fact, I had it working before with the network rules on. Now all of a sudden it decides to stop working…

Hi mikembm & welcome to the forums…

Check CPFs log file (open CPF, Activity tab & Log), anything that is being blocked will be in there. Don’t be alarmed if there are loads (there often are with server based activity). Also look back in the log to when you had it working to exclude those messages that do not actually stop the game from running & to give clues as to why it is not working now.

You can always post the log entries here if you’re uncertain or to ask advice. Please remember to logically mask any IP addresses that you don’t want made public.
