I've opened ports 2056-2099 and claimed port 2071 for myself.
Hit me up on chat if you want to test.

Krill and I did a bit of testing and it doesn't really seem like port forwarding helps (sample size of 2). The clients insist on using nat negotiation.

On the bright side, I think I found a specification for the protocol used in nat negotiation:

So it should be possible to implement our own replacement for the missing gamespy server.

Did you guys try with the available ports I have forwarded in my router (2061 to 2065 that is)?

Great job at finding the specifications for the natneg servers btw!
As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master. - Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"

I still don't understand why the host would have to forward the clients' ports, but yeah, we used those ports.

Ruff, I bounced on you twice. Not trying to get in, just doing some bounce-related testing. Sorry to use you as my guinea pig.

np - seems that only one person can play at a time. FYI for everyone ... feel free to bounce off me any time you want ... I have put the bounce dialog box on permanent ignore.

Edit: And that was with my static IP within my home network and all mentioned ports open to that IP address.
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.
