Title: BNLS Response Ports
Post by: MyndFyre on September 18, 2003, 11:55 AM

Hey fellas,

How do I know ahead of time what port BNLS will reply to? I've been examining packet captures, wondering why I haven't received the reply, and lo, I am consistently on the wrong port. Aside from the random times when I'll get lucky, how can I fix this?

Thanks!

By using the correct port (9367).

QuoteBNLS General Info

The BNLS server listens on TCP/IP port 9367.
The official BNLS server is bnls.valhallalegends.com.

Try filtering to the static remote port (9367) instead of local port which changes depending on free ports on your system.

I found it.... .NET sockets implementation just uses a random port, but since I needed to listen to your server's response, I needed to first bind to the local port.

That's a bad idea.

Follow Spht's suggestion instead.
