I have set up a server and I want to add it to Game Server so it will keep the stats
It is not dedicated and I only host it about 12 hours everyday. I get an error of this I am searching from the same network that I hosting it from but i have also tried another computer. I am not sure what the query ports and open ports and all of that is about but can someone please help me find out why i cant add it |

Hello needler09,
The query port is most likely the default if you did not change it. The default for halo is 2302. You need to open this port in your firewall and portforward it in your router, if applicable. ![]() |

Please consult the manual that came with whatever you are using, use a google search, or consult a website like portforward to learn how to do it for which ever product you are using. ![]() |

Hello again,
If that IP set in the router is the local address used by the computer hosting the server, then that should be correct. You may need to similarly open the port in your firewall or allow traffic. ![]() |
