Title: Network problem with NAT
Post by: _Tof_ on May 23, 2008, 07:30:04 AM
Following the thread http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1741.0 ...

It seems that when 2 computers behind a NAT try to connect to the same server, this one can't handle them. It keeps saying :
"SV_PacketEvent: fixing up a translated port"
And then the first client get 'connection interrupted' and the second client keeps trying to connect the server without success.

Is it a known bug ? Or, better, is there a workaround for that problem ?

Thanks,

_Tof_

Just tried 7.7 and IT'S -NOT- WORKING again. It's a real pity. I mean, why everything works on older releases and not on 7.7? It's kinda strange. And it's strange that nobody knows why, because something has changed since 7.0. But what? Somebody please answer this, it will be not cool for us to play one at time :)
Thanks.
Ps. I'm not in a hurry, don't want quick replies/fixes to this problem, but please tell us something :)

Last chance : try to set different net_qport

leave unchanged q3config.cfg of the first PC ;

modify as follow q3config.cfg of the second PC :

<code>
seta net_port 32000
seta net_port6 32000
seta net_qport 32001
</code>


This solution worked for me.  Thank you CFQ!!!  (I tried your original suggestion without the net_qport change first, but it didn't work for me either.)
