Connecting LAN Game Port 27960

[LibreQuest]

Hello all, I am trying to get world of padman to connect over LAN.

The games are able to see each other and list each other as available in LAN game list. But the connection has endless retries to connect and never progresses past the connecting screen.

This was an issue for me in Fedora as well but the games never showed up until I disabled the firewall and then they would connect.

FreeBSD is interesting because the games appear but don't connect. Just weird to me.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT: I have zero experience or knowledge in regard to FreeBSD firewalls. But this potentially could be the reason for the failure to connect given that it's network and port related.

Are there any Quake engine LAN gamers with experience on the forums today?

Did you try without the firewall enabled?

There is no firewall enabled by default, so if you didn't configure it, then the problem is somewhere else.

Hmm, interesting indeed. I may have enabled the firewall. I'll will try and disable in rc.conf
