<p>> It looks like you mean that you have all ports other than 80, 21, and</p>

<p></p>
<p>Yes, we have all but 80, 21 and 6 ports blocked, but not only for inbound, too for outbound.</p>
<p></p>
<p>> Such configurations are normally only found in highly locked down</p>
<p>> environments.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm in a student's residence, which is connectted directly to the University Net (with a Debian server)</p>
<p></p>
<p>> The new metaservers will use HTTP, this means that a webserver is needed to</p>
<p>> be one. If you can run a webserver, you can run one, if you can access</p>
<p>> other web servers then you can use them (but crossfire doesn't use HTTP for</p>
<p>> server-client communications, so you won't be able to connect to a remote</p>
<p>> server.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Do you mean something like an Apache server, using, by default, 8080 port?</p>
<p>I have my Apache server, but I don't know if other external people can access my computer using Apache, who is using 8080 port.</p>
<p></p>
<p>> You seem to be in a fairly large internal subnet though, so you should be</p>
<p>> able to run a server accessible in there quite easily. If you were to run a</p>
<p>> metaserver internally, you would be able to script the fetching of the</p>
<p>> server lists each day (or more frequently) and mirror them, propagating</p>
<p>> your own custom metaserver list.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I play crossfire using a direct LAN connection between me and my residence's friends, internally.</p>
<p></p>
<p>What do you mean with propagate my own custom metaserver list?</p>
<p></p>
<p>> This isn't useful though, since you wouldn't be able to connect to the</p>
<p>> remote servers....</p>
<p></p>
<p>The "comunication" port between crossfire server and client can't be changed anyway? I have tried to use port 21, 80 and console returns me an error in the client side:</p>
<p></p>
<p>Can't connect to server: Network is unreachable</p>
<p></p>
<p>Is it because of the client configuration, the server configuration or the systen/net configuration? I have changed the server port in the server settings file. (I tried ports 21 and 80).</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for your help. :)</p>
