How to change the UDP port used by CnC Net...

[Felix]

Hi, im from germany so i have to excuse me for my bad english

Here is my problem: my router doesnt allow to set 1 port for more than 1 ip address but i want to play over CnC Net with 2 computers. How can i change the UDP port used by CnC Net?

To change the port used by CnCNet go to the folder where you installed CnCNet and open cncNet.xml with notepad. There you will find "<port>8054</port>" and change it to what port you want.

 

I'm unsure if changing the port CnCNet uses will cause problems.

 

EDIT: Changing this setting WILL break CnCNet functionality, do NOT do it.

Problem is, it's not just the port CnCNet uses. It's simply the port C&C itself uses.

Go to cncnet directory (defaut c:\program files, cncnet) open the cncnet.xml with a notepad, and change that

 

<port>8054</port>

 

change the port for one computer and anoter for anoter computer ex:

 

CPU1 in my home:

<port>8054</port>

 

CPU2 in my home uses:

<port>5054</port>

 

but i not know if the 2 computers will work togeter, because the cnc use the default port 5009 (not sure) but i dont know how to change that

Changing the port is currently unsupported. It may or may not work based on your configurations and I can't offer any support to non-standard ports atm.

pichorra... as I said, that may change the port CnCNet uses, but the real problem is that C&C ITSELF uses UDP port 8054 anyway. Modifying the CnCNet configuration won't change that.
