If you're referring to the game.ASEPort setting, that is broken.

UDPSoft did not provide an interface for us to specify the port, so it is
always game_port+123, regardless of the game.ASEPort setting.  If firewall
ports have been set up according to the game.ASEPort setting, they obviously
won't be set up for the right port (thereby blocking ASE communications).

BTW, because of this, I have disabled the game.ASEPort setting for the time
being.  On a good note, UDPSoft did provide a new version of the library
after I asked them for this feature.  However, it will likely not be
available in the patch, due to testing reasons (I may include it in the
linux patch, but I'm rather hesitant about having platform-specific
features).

I'm not sure about the heartbeat packet... I'd guess that that should have
the right information, since it's all UDPSoft's code.  If it's broken,
there's nothing DICE can really do about it, besides wait for a code drop.
