Bet On Soldier Multiplayer Demo : game hosting
----------------------------------------------
Want to host a game?
Important rules:
BOS is using UDP port : 3506
So port 3506 must be open (both in and out) on your firewall and/or router.
GameSpy is using the following TCP ports:
* 6667 (IRC)
* 3783 (Voice Chat Port)
* 27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat)
* 28900 (Master Server List Request)
* 29900 (GP Connection Manager)
* 29901 (GP Search Manager)
* 13139 (Custom UDP Pings)
* 6515 (Dplay UDP)
* 6500 (Query Port)
Check that these ports are opened properly.
Warning: Some antiviruses softwares might provide firewall facility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Want to scan the internet or Local Area Network but BOS is stalled ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Check that no firewall alert pop-up has opened in the background.
This window may not be visible while in fullscreen mode. You can check the
desktop content by pressing Alt+TAB and switch to pop-up if any (you can then
Alt+TAB back to BOS)

Server Hosting
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If you create a dedicated server, remember that your guests' gaming experience will greatly depend on your server performances. Try to avoid alternate downloads or other programs running in the background, to keep your bandwidth as large as possible. Morevover, in case of a non-dedicated server, smoothest gameplay can be
achieved by reducing server graphical options:
- lower texture quality
- lower screen resolution (800*600)
- shadow disabled (shadow option set to none)
