protocol 67

[king_scott_2]

if you have read any of my other information on trying to connect through a firewall then you would know i have been unsuccfull. After playing a game called quake 3 over my LAN i notesest it said connecting using protocol 67. Where can i find this and include it in my programs?

thanks

"A game called quake 3"



Quake 3 connects via UDP, which is a relative of TCP. It usually uses port 2027 (or something in that area) as server port, while the return port may be anything - that's why it works so well with firewalls.

Protocol 67 might be some internal number of the firewall.

Have you tried a google search?

Ok, can't find anything on Google, just random occurrences of Protocol and 67 as a page number.

I would say Protocol 67 is something quake-internal, so it's proprietary of ID Software. You probably won't find any information on it.
