Gameranger firewall problem
And I repeat, I did not change any settings, so I do not understand why it did not occur earlier. I have been playing on Gameranger and Revora for about 18 months, never had this kind of problem before. Just all of a sudden the above mentioned message started to pop up every time even though I did not change any router or PC settings. Instead you may have to ask the network administrator to open UDP port 16000 in the firewall." If you are at work on a company network or at a university, you may not be able to fix the problem yourself. Unfortunately, it is not possible to offer step-by-step instructions here as every router is different. Most routers are configured through a web page built into them.
#GAMERANGER FIREWALL PROBLEM HOW TO#
You will need to ask your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or refer to your router's instruction manual for information on how to open UDP port 16000 in your firewall. The firewall that is causing the problem is likely to be in your modem/router. You will be able to play games with GameRanger with that firewall enabled.
#GAMERANGER FIREWALL PROBLEM MAC OS X#
The built-in firewall in Mac OS X (in Sharing in System Preferences) will not be the problem.

"You appear to have a firewall or router that is blocking you from playing games.įirewalls are designed to prevent unwanted communication to and from your computer or network, but sometimes they are too strict and actually block legitimate data. I got the following message on Gameranger every time I tried to open or join a game. The funny thing is that on the same day this problem started I had trouble playing on Gameranger too (I know you guys are not the online support for Gameranger but the problems are obviously linked and it might give a clue on how to solve it). I cannot even establish connection to people with whom I did not have any problems in the past. I have tried it with about 20 random people and I could connect to only 1 guy. However, as of yesterday, I cannot connect to almost anyone, no matter how much I refresh NAT. The number of people I could never connect to was really, really minimal. I have always had problems connecting with others, but in the past simply clicking "refresh NAT" was enough to solve the problem in most cases.

As of yesterday, 14th October, I am having trouble establishing connections to other players in TW as well as in KW.
