How to portforward your router for SNOW multiplayer.

Hello guys, this is my first guide and English is not my main language so there will proably be things that are spelt wrong, but bare with me! I hope this helps you, and good luck portforwarding your router!

• First - Find out what kind of "Router" you have. For an example I have " "Asus RT-N66U" [blog.pricerunner.dk]
  
  
  
• Second - The IP adress, you can simple do that by searching google " Whats my ip"
  Then copy your ip and paste it to your browser and then hit enter. Now you will need to login into your network map.
  
  Now for those who have never done this before the "username" & "password" will proably be "Admin" "Admin", "admin" "admin or " User" "User", "user" "user".
  
  If you dont know your "username" & "password" you'll have two choices, either you can contact your ISP ( Company of your internett ) and ask for the username and password.
  Or you can simply reset your router to factory settings, and your "username" & "password" should be one of them above. You reset your router by pressing the reset button on the router..
  
  
• Third - Once you've logged in to your network map you're ready to start the portforward.
  Now, i would use the website " Portforward [portforward.com] to find "my"(your) router.
  This site has everything you need to know about portforwarding your router.
  
  Here is what it looks for me, on mine router " Asus RT-N66U ".

NB! If you have a router that came with the internett then IT WILL NOT LOOK LIKE THIS!

• Ok, so now you would need the PORTS you want to open.
  You'll have the choice of " TCP & UDP & Both" make one for each
  for example;
  

  Service Name	Port Range	Local IP	Local Port	Protocol
  SNOW	64087	192.***.*.82	64087	TCP

  
  
• Theese are the ports you will need to use!
  
• 64087
  
• 29910
  
• 27900
  
• 27901
  
• 6667
  
• 28910

Here is a picture of how it looks like.

Now if you made it to this step you've done good!

That means your ports should be open, but just to be sure i would download the "portforward PFConfig" its a program wich allows your to "Automatically" open ports or check if the ports are open.

Thx Klages for that reply, cause as i said guys i havnt played the game for awhile and this is an old guide... I wish you good luck getting up your servers!

[Klages]

there is a dedicated server in the steam db, but you have to download it with steamcmd: https://steamdb.info/app/328950/
after downloading, when you started your dedicated server type in "map sialia" then "sv_gamerules = multiplayer" and "sv_lanonly = 0"
the server should now be ready.
i tried it before the big update and the server wasn`t reachable from outside of the local network - even the ports where forwarded.
get in touch with me if you get it working :)

Hello Samurai Weeaboo, im sorry but i created this back in januray 5th of 2015...
Game has changed alot in this year, i dont know if SNOW support dedicated servers anymore.
Try contacting Dev's and ask, or they might have dedicated server TOOL in steam, i dont know for sure. If not, this guide is pretty useless, unless you want to know how to portforward, but who knows, maybe they will add dedicated servers later.

Hello. I know how to portforwars and there is no problem with that. The problem is, that it gives me only the option to browse servers, and not to create my own / join friends game. Do I have a wrong version of the game? Please help and thank you in advance.

Did you check if all ports are open ?
I havnt played Snow in awhile, now are you the host or joiner ?
