[rat]

28000-28030 by default.

how do i access the admin options to my server in-game? and how do i configure my server (map,vehicles/item options)?

thanks.

[rat]

also, my router only lets me open 1 port at a time and it only lets me add up to 15 ports for blockland (using the rest). so could i get a specific list? or does it really need all 31 ports?

technically it's one for each player you want to have connected, starting at 28000

[rat]

alright, thanks badspot, wont be able to support more than 15 on my cable connection anyways.

The most important thing is that you set the ports to UDP.
Most people set them to TCP , and not to UDP, and that's why it doesn't work.

The Windows Firewall also does some problems sometimes, open the ports there too.

In most cases it's enough to open 28000 to 28012 (UDP!), most internet connections won't endure more players anyways.
