Firewalling for the Dlink DSL-504T






 

Port 14567 UDP is the only port you have to open for Battlefield 1942. If you want to have your server listed on gamespy, you might also need to open the following ports.

Allow TCP and UDP Ports 12203 Allow UDP Port 14690 Allow UDP Ports: 23000-23009 Allow UDP 22000 (This is only for LAN) # GameSpy Master Server UDP Heartbeat: Allow UDP Port 27900 # GameSpy Master Server List Request: Allow TCP Port 28900

It's also important to note that EA suggests DMZing your computer for Battlefield 1942.

To configure this router's firewalling properly you should setup a static ip address on your computer. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Do not skip this step!




Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 10.1.1.1.




You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default both the username and password are admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.




Click the Advanced button near the top of the page.




Click the Filters button near the left side of the page.
