Mutliplayer IP issues

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Mutliplayer IP issues

Most routers are preconfigured in a way they will block data that comes trough "uncommon" ports, so you have to use a common port or tell the users to make sure the port is not blocked by a firewall, be it software or hardware, eg a router.

Well, as far as I see the client sends a request that is answererd by the server. The router should undertand this and send the answer to the right lan client, probably using some kind of session ID. Well, I must confess, I'm only guessing.

Did you try the GNet solution that is using a webserver, php and mySql?
