Only dedicated servers will appear on the server list. Listening servers will only appear on the local network and never on the Internet tab even if you are on the local network.

If you and your friend are on a local network and it doesn't appear then it can be a firewall problem or a network problem (mostly wireless) that prevents broadcast packages or the listening port.

You can try to enter the IP address manually to see if the port is open.

If you use a newer engine build from this thread: http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1933.0
then you can set sv_public = 1 and hope for the server to appear on the list (untested but might work). Listening port must be open from the outside or the master server will remove it.

If you use the dedicated server binary then you will need to start it with "+set dedicated 2" to make it an Internet server.

There can be a lot reasons.

Try connecting directly to the IP with Multiplayer -> Specify to check if the server is reachable.

Ditto for me. I have the 0.8.1 release(grabbed from openarena.ws/files), and I have started up with '+set dedicated 2'. My startup args:


oa_ded.i386 +set fs_basepath /g/o/openarena +set dedicated 2 +set com_hunkMegs 32 +set net_ip x.x.x.x +set net_port 27960 +exec configs/dedicated1.cfg

I and others can connect to it just fine when we manually specify, but it has not shown up in the serverlist(and it has been up for about 8 hours now). Any ideas? I do see it periodically send a heartbeat to the master:

Resolving dpmaster.deathmask.net
dpmaster.deathmask.net resolved to 64.22.107.125:27950

Sending heartbeat to dpmaster.deathmask.net

I have udp 27960 and udp 27961 opened up to the world on my acls(and again, we can connect to it if we specify manually).

And I also have my acls allowing any traffic outbound from the server(so reaching master on port 27950 is ok). I also grabbed new binaries(http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1933.0) just now and restarted the server, but still no-go.

Did you open outgoing UDP 27950 port ?
It's necessary to contact the master server, as you can see here :

Yep, I allow all outgoing from the server. Should there be any more info in the logs when a connection is made to the master server? All I have are the heartbeats.

sorry that I didnt followup sooner. It just took a day for it to show up on the master list. Not sure if that's normal or not, but it's listed.

Normally it should appear immediately. Check using http://dpmaster.deathmask.net/?game=openarena&showplayers=1&sort=ip
