HELP! What ports does SMAC use.

Increase Your PM Length

Can someone tell me what ports SMAC uses.
I can't connect to anyone more and people can't connect to me.

I could before, when I just had a modem...

But after I got ADSL and a cisco 677 router (has a build in firewall) I can't play online more.

Can someone tell me what ports I need to open on the router to play.............

Or what can be wrong..?

Can I specify the ports I want to use in the game like:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:545

Or...? What..??????

I really really really need some help here.
I want to play with my pals..

Thanks for ANY help you can give me.

Full PM-box? Change here!

SMAC uses Microsofts DirectPlay for internet connections (a component of DirectX).
According to Firaxis it uses no ports beyond those required by DirectPlay.

Directplay uses the following ports:

Initial TCP Connection: 47624 Outbound 47624 Inbound

Subsequent TCP Inbound : 2300-2400
Subsequent TCP Outbound: 2300-2400
Subsequent UDP Inbound : 2300-2400
Subsequent UDP Outbound: 2300-2400

To join a game you need 2300-2400 open plus 47624

To host a game behind a NAT router you need those ports mapped to the IP of the machine you are using.

The full article can be found here:

There is also more on firewall/proxy/router configuration
