Hello everyone.
Yesterday I tried to create a dedicated OA server. And it worked, sort of - it was listed on dpmaster with the right IP but wrong port. Even though I opened (forwarded) ports 29750, 29760 and 29761 (UDP). Basically, the only clue as to what is going on is a
single post on this forum - the first reply by sago007:
There can be some problem getting it to show on the master list in some situations if you are behind a NAT since the master server might see the wrong port (the master server apparently uses the port it received the heartbeat from). Some NAT routers/software have a Quake 3 heartbeat hack to make it work.
So, what have I tried:
Ingame server - works, people outside my LAN can connect.
Connect to the dedicated server from the same machine (specified 127.0.0.1:29760/1) - also works.
I tried putting the port on the cmd line and in the server.cfg, neither helped. I also tried disabling the router firewall - made no difference.
I googled quite a bit, but nothing came up, so I finally decided to ask here.
Anyone?
