As a graphics dweeb and therefore very low-tech - am I best just using NetBarrier to monitor what's going in and out?

Or is there a crude set up guide outlining connecting to a specific server that I could be following?

Sorry to make my first question such a dumb one, but I need to sleep at night too.

Hotline still exists?

Ah, those were the days, running my own Carracho server (gronk-o-matik™)...

(Hotline sucked major ass, even then)

Anyway, the ports that need to be open in any Firewall are these (googled for "Hotline port numbers"):

Hotline Server
IN TCP 5500 - 5503
IN UDP 5499
The TCP Ports enabled are 5500 - 5503 (This is for the standard 5500 Hotline port)

If you change the default port, then you must enable the 3 ports after it (so if you choose 4000 then you must enable 4000 - 4003)

The UDP port enabled 5499 is required only if you want to list your server on a tracker (the data stream is only outgoing so if you want to disable in bound on a firewall it would work fine)

A thousand thank yous, Spheric Harlot

I decided to check for replies before turning in, I will sleep a lot more soundly tonight than I did Iast night.
