Title: Dedicated server problem Post by: near_dedicated on January 31, 2010, 01:42:25 PM 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 (http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1827.0) - the first reply by sago007: Quote 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?

The problem is caused by your router : it was already discussed here and there on this forum. You need a Full cone NAT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation#Types_of_NAT) to forward the server's port to the same port on the router. Your router is quite for sure not a Full cone NAT (unless that port is already used ). |
