Need help for opening ports

[Bobsmob]

i ned to know which ports must i open for esf or half life!

Because my game stays on "Refreshing..." the whole time.

And do i ned to have static or dynamic ip for online?

27015 for both TCP & UDP,

As for your Static or Dynamic IP, that depends entirely on your ISP (Internet Service Provider). A Static IP means that the IP that has been given to you will stick as it is. While a Dynamic IP will keep changing either after reconnecting to the internet, much like 56K Phone connection, or it happens automatic depending on your ISP.

TCP&UDP

DHCP is something complete different...

Check the server list?

Check the server list?

i mean that it stays "refreshing server list.." for like 30 sec
and then it finds only this PATAN server where only argentinians can play lol.

im asking for ip adresses for servers so i can add them to favourites.

 

[Skyrider]

Rigghtt, skip 27015 then. I thought you meant to create dedicated servers. Are you using Steam?

 

[Bobsmob]

yes im using Steam

What about your filters. Did you by chance turn on a filter?

 

[Bobsmob]

filter is automaticly on it says ESF:RC2

 

[Grega]

RC2

The filter should say "Earht's Special Forces"

ECX doesnt overwrite the filters. Or rather it shouldnt :s

 

[Skyrider]

I'd love to check it out, but I can't seem to "search" for servers while I'm already in TF2.

No sky i mean ECX doesnt overwrite the default ESF filter. It says "Earht's Special Forces" And it searches out all ESF servers, because ECX is made so that you can join normall ESF server. The only difference is the gamemode name. The filters should be unaffected.

So if his filter say something other than "Earth's Special Forces" The something might be wrong.

I know what you mean, but I wanted to check it out to see what the filter says on my side .

i conferm it indeed does say esf:ecxrc2

 

[Bobsmob]

I opened ports 2700-27015
and 27020-27050 and can only see 2 servers

Do you use any firewall software, or perhaps a router firewall giving you this current issue?

You can always try these:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4487-YUOC-6922
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5539-MJWZ-7760

And here some more Port information for the steam client:

Steam Client

* UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive (Game client traffic)
* UDP 27015 to 27030 inclusive (Typically Matchmaking and HLTV)
* TCP 27020 to 27050 inclusive (Steam downloads)

Router has firewall i think but it its safe to turn it off?

 

[Skyrider]

You can try to disable it temporally to see if that is causing the issue. If it's not the issue, you can turn the firewall back on. If it is causing the issue, any way to adjust the firewall level in the router?
