Opening TCP port for Quake Live

ephan · 2012-02-17 21:00:45

Protocol: TCP
Host: xmpp.quakelive.com
Port: 5222

Quake Live tells me I need to open that port, if I have a firewall. How can I do this with Arch? Thanks.

This probably has more to do with your wireless router, if you have one. You will have to turn on port forwarding and forward that port.

I tried that, not sure if I did it correctly, but still, when I used Ubuntu (and before, when I used Windows 7), I didn't have to do any of those things, only when I moved to Arch this started happening.

Lets verify you don't have any local firewall settings...
As root:

iptables -vnL

david@davidarch:~$ sudo iptables -vnL

Ok, so you have no firewall rules enabled.

Try opening the browser you use to launch quake live via cli and check for any errors/output when the quake live startup fails.
