To my understanding the only client side port needed to connect is UDP port 15567 for vietnam, 14567 for BF1942, and 16567 for BF2. With no gateway/router in the picture and no client-side firewall, there should be nothing accept connection speed stopping you from connecting to the game server (accept of course your ISP). In that case simply disable it to check if it is the reason your being blocked. and you can get on the internet, then you should be able to connect to any server listed in the multiplayer screen unless you have a client side firewall. The short of it all is if you take the router out of the picture and connect your PC to what ever external connection type modem you have, and your TCP/IP stack is set to recieve a DHCP IP address from your ISP and DNS ect. Most non-client firewalls are set up to allow any connection to be made in and out from an internal IP address on any port needed and should not have to be set up to allow this type of connection. router, gateway server, etc.) allowing connection to the internet in order to play. OR- as said above any firewalls or filtering that may be after your client box's (i.e. I am unaware which they are but Im sure EA would have that information. the game you usually buy to play on multiplayer servers located on the internet) would possibly have a client side firewall that may need to allow the client game to connect to servers via either the application exicutable (BfVietnam.exe) to allow for all connections in and out, or to specifiy the ports needed.


The client machine with the client application BFV game (i.e. Only a person putting up a server would need the listed ports from his post. These are server side ports and the client application should not require these ports to be opened to connect to a server.
