    what ports need to be opened/forwarded?
    Does it have any hassle with NAT?
    How many players on ~ISDN can be supported over 512/128 (Netsource)?

    Hi,

    to the first two things I am not sure. There are some ports which must be opened (at least 14567). Maybe thats the only one.
    NAT should work when you "catch" all the ports.

    But (in BIG LETTERS): You won't have much fun to host a game over DSL. Because of the limited upload (128kBit per second, which is around 16kByte per second).
    I read in a test in a german magazine (PC Games Hardware) that Battlefield needs around 3 - 4 kByte per player per second Upload bandwith.
    Sum it up et voila: max 4 Players on a Server with 128kBit.

    More players: terrible lags.

    Hope that gave short hint, :ninja:
