Host Networked Game
+++++++++++++++++++
You can host multiplayer games with your client without the need of using a
dedicated server. If you host a
game with your client, other players need to be able to connect to your
port 15000 using TCP. If you are behind a firewall, you will probably
need to change your firewall settings to allow incoming connections to
port 15000, and tell your firewall to forward such traffic to the machine
hosting the game. You should not need to make firewall changes to join
games hosted on a public server or by someone else.
To be able to start a multiplayer game without using an external multiplayer
server, you have to start the server, which is usually named 'wesnothd',
yourself. Then you have to connect to your
own machine in the 'Connect to Host/Server' dialog by typing 127.0.0.1 as
adress to use. Other players need to be able to connect to your
port 15000 using TCP to play with you on your server. If you are behind a
firewall, you will probably need to change your firewall settings to allow
incoming connections to port 15000, and tell your firewall to forward such
traffic to the machine hosting the game. You should not need to make firewall
changes to join games hosted on a public server or by someone else.
