I know how you feel, I can't host either. Nobody can see or join my games and I forwarded the port 27666 via UDP and TCP. I don't get it.

What a great port number =P


The original doom used port 666

You need to have Administrator rights to bind to a port under 1000 now. Most of the UDP games use ports from 2000-3000 now (most in the 27*** range)

I suppose there's the chance that it could be because you're on 56K. I don't know.

On broadband a good ping for doom3 is 170ms. You will have no chance playing on a 56k connection. Doom 3 is a broadband-only game.

Can someone please clarify what ports I need to enable on my firewall so people can access my Doom 3 server ?

27666 TCP & UDP (For Server)
27650 TCP & UDP (For MasterServer Heartbeat)

You need to open the top one for the server to work. You need to open the bottom one for it to display on the list. So open both.

broadband only!!! doom3, as far as i know, will not run on a 56k connection. so dont try! i am sure someone is bound to find a way around this but even then i dont think it would play well. if you have doom and 56k then forget about MP.

I have opened the ports on the firewall and still no luck.

What else can I try ?

Also when running in dedicated what are the command line options ?
