+ | ===== Operating a server ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Doomsday servers are, by default, silent daemon processes intended to be run in the background. You need to use the Doomsday Shell to monitor their status and control them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Firewall and NAT ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Doomsday uses TCP network connections for multiplayer games. If you host a game and are behind a firewall or using NAT, you must make sure that other computers are able to open TCP connections to your computer. This entails opening the appropriate incoming TCP ports on your firewall and/or configuring the NAT so that the correct ports are routed to your computer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Additionally, | ||
+ | |||
+ | A server opens one TCP port for listening to incoming connections. The port must be open for incoming TCP traffic in the firewall. The port number is configured with the console variable '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can see status information about the network subsystem with the console command:< | ||
