  - Make sure that you have your firewall of the computer as well as possible
    routers or modems of the server configured such that:
    * port 3979 is free for both UDP and TCP connections in- and outgoing
    * port 3978 is free outbound for UDP in order to advertise with the master
      server (if desired). Otherwise you'll have to tell players your IP.
    * port 3977 if use of the admin interface is desired (see admin_network.txt)

  - My advertising server does not show up in list at servers.openttd.org
      Run openttd with the '-d net=2' parameter, as this will show whether it
      receives replies from the master server. If it does not receive replies it
      is most likely that you need to configure your router to forward ports
 (both TCP and UDP) to the computer that is hosting the game.
      Run openttd with the '-d net=2' parameter. That will show which incoming
      communication is received, whether the replies from the master server or
      communication from an admin tool reach the programme. See section 1
      'Starting a server' further up for the ports and protocols used by OpenTTD.
      The ports can be configured in the config file.
