Talk:Port Usage

Suggestion

Adding a column to the location(s) where the port can be changed.

Addition

Port 80 is used to request playerstatistics from bf2web.gamespy.com (so 80 is outgoing in this case, and some random port is used for the reply)

Port 80 as Battlercorder and PB are inaccurate. Port 80 is dealing with client stats and client logins to EA.
Having run the client on a Windows box behind a Linux box as a router I have encountered issue with excessive login times and a failure of teh BFHQ stats showing up period.

Using IPTABLES and these two rulesets:
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $INTIF -p tcp --dport 80 -j LOG
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $INTIF -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP <--- set to block incoming to 80

However when I comment out the second line BFHQ works fine and I have a shorter overall login time.
