Anyone know the ports that multiuser N4 uses so I can open the on my
firewall when I want to host a race?

By default the following UDP ports will be used by NASCAR? Racing 4: 32766 for the net_server_port,
32767 for ping port, and then sequentially numbered ports for each allowed client connection (max of
42) starting at 32768.
To run from a machine with a private IP address behind a Linux firewall, you need to use a
combination of IP masquerading and IP autoforwarding. The following rules for the default 42 client
port range can be used:
ipfwadm -F -a accept -m -S a.a.a.a/m.m.m.m -D 0.0.0.0/0
ipautofw -A -r udp 32766 32809 -h a.a.a.a -v -u
Where a.a.a.a is the address of the machine behind the firewall, and m.m.m.m is the netmask. If you
run a server behind the firewall, clients should connect to the IP address of the firewall.
Note that users with Linksys or other such Internet connection sharing routers should not need to
change any configuration settings to connect to NASCAR? Racing 4 multiplayer races as clients. If
you wish to host a NASCAR? Racing 4 race from behind a router you will need to forward the default
UDP port range of 32766-32809 from the router to the internal or LAN IP of the NASCAR? Racing 4
server. Linksys users will need to latest firmware update to allow port ranges to the forwarded.
When connecting, clients should use the external or WAN IP address of the router.
