Is it possible to set up a Tremulous server on a LAN (Without Port Forwarding)

[Piper802]

Hello, I'm just asking how to set up a server over a LAN without port forwarding. My main reason for asking this is because since on our router all computers on our network are recognized... So if one tried connecting to another's port it would let them through without needing port forwarding right? I know you could just set one up with Tremulous's default "Create Server" method. But that has limited functionality (build points, gravity, etc).

So I've tried making a server using FooBar's Tutorial. Except I skipped the port forwarding section of it, because I'm just trying to do a LAN game. But my server does not appear in the "Local" servers category on Tremulous. Nor does it show up on any other networked computers.

Can anyone tell me what I must do to get a LAN server running without port forwarding? Help please!
Thanks!

(Yes, I've used the forum search. Yes, I believe this is in the right forum)

Try having the other clients connect with your LAN ip:port manually.

You mean like through favorites? I've tried that on the server, but not on any of the client computers.

Edit: It didn't work :[. All suggestions are favored please and thankyou

make sure you have the port right (if you have a client running before the server 30720 will be taken), and if you do check to make sure any software firewalls are set to allow tremded to accept connections.

I run tremulous at lan parties all the time, from dedicated servers. As long as you are on the inside, you should not need port forwarding.
