If you have a game or application that you can't get to work because you aren't sure what ports should be forwarded, post the details here and my team of highly skilled researchers will see if they can find the answer, we will do our best in all cases and where information is found for a new title we'll also make sure it gets added to the web site so that everyone can share the information.


If anyone has a manual for Star Trek Legacy i'd be glad to hear from you.

Ok, is that the full game title, Sorry PC
I'll see what i can find out but at this point it doesn't look like i can find much info, have you tried contacting the game manufacturer through their support to see if they can advise you on the correct ports

Re. Soulseek

It appears that we don't have the information for that title, if anyone has it or knows of a legitimate source for the port information i would be glad to hear from you. I'll do some investigation for you and see what i can find.

By my information Developer is Third-I Prod and Publisher is Hasbro Interactive. No information what atari own that game.

Hi and welcome to our forums

I have looked around for port information for the game but i'm afraid i haven't been able to come up with much, perhaps someone else might have more information, if so please post here. I haven't been able to find a list of ports for the game, but it is possible that it doesn't require any ports other than port 80 for HTTP protocol but i'm not totally sure on that one, What i would suggest is filling out a support form and asking the game developers themselves as they will be able to answer your question for sure, the link to the help desk is Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to , hopfully that will get you the answer you need. I did see a lot of problems reported on the developers forums about anti-spyware programs preventing connection so i think its more likely to be related to that than ports, but a quick question to the developers should answer that for you. I hope you manage to get the problem fixed and if you come up with any information you think should be included in our port listings please let us know

Yay, got it! 

Rumble Fighter uses port 7000 to 8500.  Go ahead and add that to the database, I guess!

Hi,

TCP and UDP are two different protocols and behave in different ways, TCP protocol allows for error checking, so that any information transmitted through a TCP port is checked by the recipient machine usually in chucks of data, the result is that TCP is a very reliable means of transferring data, the problem comes along when you have a game or application that requires maximum bandwidth usage and all the error checks start to slow the connection down, for a lot of online games and applications the UDP port is used to transfer data, the difference with UDP is that it doesn't contain as much error checking and correction overheads, instead it transfers data with much less error checking which results in a performance increase, assuming that the connection is very reliable and there is minimal loss.

You should always use the protocols that are listed and if in doubt just confirm the protocols with your user manual or manufacturers web site, the reason for this is that if a game or application requires a TCP port and you were to open TCP and UDP there would potentially be an open UDP port which could in theory be used for something malicious, that's fairly unlikely but could happen, so in a case like that i would opt for openeing the TCP port if that's all that is required by the game or application.
