Hi all,
Please accept my apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place, or if it's been asked hundreds of times previously, and I'm just too incompetent to find it.
After a good time away, I'm trying to start up a new Pitboss game of BtS. I'll be playing a 2 human/7 AI game with friend who lives a few miles away, so I gather this has to be an Internet game now, rather than a direct IP one.
I'm using a Windows Home Server 2011 machine as my Pitboss server, and have, as far as I can tell, started up the Pitboss game correctly. However, when I leave the server, and try to log on to the game on my gaming PC, I cannot see the game mentioned in the lobby (though I can see others, so that would suggest that issue is with my Pitboss machine, rather than my gaming PC).
I'm guessing that there may be a port forwarding issue here, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer as to what ports require forwarding when trying to host a Pitboss match. Can anyone provide some clarification as to what ports need forwarding, and also offer any alternative suggestions for where I might be going wrong?
Many thanks.
