Hi Al, I’ve done some search in the forums and haven’t been able to get a straight answer on exactly what ports to forward.
Thus far i have forwarded: 5998, 9000-9100 (zones are set up at 9001-9100).
But yet, People still cannot log in externally. Locally everything is fine.
Here is what appears on world
