direct connect

[Skycarl]

I've been trying to connect with Eshark in a direct connect game.
The conf. file has the correct ip, port has been set in router, (27016 per other
posts I have read ) this has been set for both UDP and TCP.
We also listed each other in friends list in Steam, so I can't think of any thing
else that is needed for one to host and the other to join.

Now some mention port 27015 and others say 27016. Anyone know for sure
which is the correct port to forward? No problems with multiplay in IL2-1946
or RoF. I'm in the states and Eshark is in England but that shouldn't matter
as long as the settings are correct.

Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
