Hi,

 

It will be an nice feature, if you can choose your port number in mutiplayer lobby itself.

Background is that telekom in Germany blocks some TCP & UPD ports and so it is possible, that some players cannot host some games with their router (if UDP port 20595 is blocked).

If you can choose the port yourself, you can prevent this issue.

There are hundreds of possible ports Lion ;) each number range has a specific purpose web access,file transfer,games so your question needs to be a bit more specific as in for what purpose,local network/internet and what type of security and quite a few more descriptors.There should be a Wikipedia article available in Spanish as well :)

Enjoy the Choice :)

On windows, valid ports are 1 to 65535 (= 2^16). On linux you need root access to host on ports < 1024.

If not able to configure the router to forward UDP 20595, forwarding any other number is just as impossible,

unless you find a port that is already exposed by default (which can be the case for tcp port 80 sometimes, too bad we don't use tcp though).
