Re: Opening ports in Shorewall in order to run an America's Army server

Are you sure that the server is listening on the ports you think it's

And if it is, are there any application-level restrictions? It might
only be accepting connections from certain source IP addresses.

I've run the AA server and afterwards grepped the output of the command
you've suggested. Here are the interesting ports:

udp 0 0 *:1716 *:*

udp 1648 0 [isp url address]:1717 *:*

udp 0 0 *:14200 *:*

Maybe instead of my URL address provided by my ISP there should be an
IP? By the way here's the output of the server:

/opt/armyops/System $ ./server-bin global Bridge.aao -nohomedir
ini=server.ini
