Serving Battlefield
1942 Behind a Firewall
(Putting your server behind a firewall is a BEST PRACTICE)
If you plan on putting your Battlefield 1942 Server behind a firewall (ie:
residential ones D-Link, Linksys, SMC) you will need to open and forward the
following UDP (and possibly some TCP) ports in order for your Battlefield 1942
Server to be seen on the Internet.
Note: I have found both D-Link and SMC Barricade
Routers to be unreliable when serving internet games. However I have never
had any issues with Linksys routers.

* denotes ports that absolutely have to be open and forwarded to the Server
in order for BF1942 to work online. You don't have to have any of the other ports
open in order to serve games via the in-game Gamespy server list, but you may
want to open them for other reasons.
Setting
the rcon password for remote Administration
You must first set the server admin password at the server console. Get in front
of the server/black window and hit the "~"
key to bring up the console (also called the tilde key). This
will take the console out of status display mode (where it
shows you FPS) and into entry mode where you can enter console
commands. When you get the > prompt, type:
admin.enableremoteadmin <password>
where <password> is any password of your choice that is all
numbers OR letters, BUT NOT BOTH
AND NO SPACES!
After you have set the password on the server console, you can use
the same command from your client when you connect to the server. So,
fire up your game and connect to your server. Now open the console
ingame with the ~ key and issue the following command:
admin.enableremoteadmin <password>
where <password> is the password you set before at the server
console.
You should now be authorized as an admin and able to issue remote
commands. To issue a remote command, use the following command:
admin.execremotecommand "command"
To execute a command from a client, one would type the admin.execremotecommand,
followed by the desired admin command in quotation marks. For example,
to kick someone with the player id of 8 from a client machine, one
would type the following (after going through the first two steps of
this section):
admin.execremotecommand "admin.kickplayer
8"
or to ban player 8:
admin.execremotecommand "admin.banplayer 8"
Kicking/banning a Player
If you are sitting in front of your server/console, then you just issue
the admin command right into the console (i.e. game.listplayers and
admin.kickplayer <number>).
admin.kickplayer 16
or to ban player 16:
admin.banplayer 16
