Typically the combination Pitboss.exe / 'preset port' needs to be set open on both the OS and the router and again typically Windoze handles the OS part but people ran into trouble opening the combo on the router if it is very strict (which it better is!).
It gets even more complicated when you run a Pitboss on one PC in the LAN and play from another PC (like at my place) where you have to set seperate ports for general connecting to the Pitboss server and connecting to the player.
But I don't expect that to be an issue while setting up a Pitboss on civduelzone.com, although I still have to make sure the port settings in the OS and the router are correct. Techie job.  |
Now you boys take it easy, holidays coming up, plenty of time to relax and get talking coherently again.
