so I can host some races?
Looked at the read me but was a little confused as to what numbers to plug
in.

David, with my Linksys I forward ports 32766-32787 (UDP ports) on the IP of
the machine I will be hosting on...I'm assuming that since you have a router
that you have more than one machine connected, so be sure to forward the
ports on the right IP addy.....the port range described above will allow 20
clients to join, for more just add onto the 32787 number.

Hope the ? was clear..

I'm no networking expert Dave, but in my case at least, "forwarding" the
ports allows requests from the internet to those ports to be routed to the
IP address they are looking for, whether it's ping, or racelist, or client
request, I don't think they are application dependent, so long as they are
forwarded out past your router's firewall they should be seen by people
trying to connect.
What trouble are you having, exactly?
Ed
I figured that if the ports were open it would be ok.
Thanks again...

net_server_port=0 ; Server port number (0 = default)
to
net_server_port=33766 ; Server port number (0 = default)
for example. Then forward 33766-33787 UDP in your router. Use a port range
that is not in use on any system behind your router that must be viewable
from the internet.
Clients who want to connect have to append the port number to your server ip
in the multi-player join screen like this:
12.34.567.89:33766
It can be that this is taken care of automatically when you host via Sierra;
i have no experience with that.
Using this trick, I am able to host GPL, NR2003, NR2003 TA and NR2003 TPTCC
on one machine :)
