What ports does the game use for online? I know you can play it via LAN and on the in game multiplayer option via Gamespy, so does that mean the game is routed to the Gamespy main server? How could I set up a game out side the Gamespy~Ingame menu? In other words could I connect to an IP that is hosting a game? If so how?
Thanks in advance,
David

Well I found the answer the my first question, so I thought I would share the info, here is what I found:
UDP port 2056 ~ Game-specific traffic
UDP ports 2056-2156 ~ Alternate game traffic ports (if primary port is in use)
UDP port 6500 ~ lobby server queries
UDP port 13139 ~ lobby ping time calculation
TCP port 6667 ~ lobby chat traffic
TCP 28910 ~ lobby server game data queries
So I am wondering, If I was hosting a game at IP (x's = IP values) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2056 and My friend wanted to join that game, how could he? Is there a console where you can enter the IP from and if so how do you access it?
