Ok, with the the portchecker what port should i check? 1000? or what also do i select TCP or UDP

As stated various times along this thread, usually UDP port 27960. Anyway you can find the number of the port in your console (for example, search 27960 in the console output you posted before... it's in the "Opening IP socket: 0.0.0.0:27960" line...).

I found my error on my router configuration. If now I setup a server, I can see it using http://dpmaster.deathmask.net/?game=openarena&server=<my_server_IP>... I can't connect to it, but probably it's normal that I can't connect to my external IP from within my LAN (I saw this happening for a webserver and a Cisco router)...

But, even if I stared oa_ded +set dedicated 2 and it sends heartbeats... I can't find it in "internet" section from internal server browser (but, as someone stated, this it may be normal, if I'm not wrong)... and I can't find it in this list... anyone got some ideas?

Can you please try to connect? Now my IP is <update:closed now>, and server port is standard 27960: can you please try to connect to it?
You will get an high ping because now I have more network applications open, anyway it should work. Can you confirm if you can connect to it, or if you can find it from Deathmask site or internal server browser? It is named simply "Gig test server"...

I can connect to it, I added it in my XQF favorites.
WrackDM17, played there for a minute.
No idea for the rest.

XQF?

Anyway, I have dynamic IP: it changes every time I reboot my router. If you want to play with me with some mod (I like AlternateFire, Akimbo, BazookaQuake3, NIQ3....), we can use ICQ to arrange...

PS: I still can't find my server on Deathmask server list...

Server ain't working here, it tries to download pak6-patch085.pk3, but I connect via 085 so should already have it... but then the autodownload errors so can't see what it does.

I didn't enable Autodowload.. Anyway it is strange if you are already using 0.8.5.. :-/
Well, I enabled autodownload now, if you want to make another try...

Anyway, some ideas of why it does not appear on deathmask?

You also have port 27950 open?

edit: now its dling with 12kbs.. >1h or something. You should get that pak out and put it in your OA install folder (not the settings folder in appdata), think that'll help.

Pak6-patch085.pk3 is in my openarena_install_folder\baseoa (I manually downloaded and installed 0.8.5, I didn't autodownload the patch).
In my %appdata%\OpenArena\baseoa folder there are few pk3s, autodownloaded when I connected to some servers, but patch085 isn't there.

27950 wasn't outgoing? Does portforwarding it mean (cause) only a single internet-published server from my lan? Anyway, outgoing traffic was already enabled.. I enabled also incoming traffic and portforwarding for 27950 UDP, but it seem not work (I sent an heartbeat, but deathmask still don't show it). PFPortChecker tools tells me it is open, it does not give me the error that OpenArena is already using that port... should I quit and launch OA_ded again?

What means that "Hitch warning: xxx msec frame time" I see in my console? (update: I found an explanation here... it seems it should not be a problem, right?)

hmm then I don't know what causes it :S

Well, just try putting the whole range 27950-27970 udp&tcp open incoming and outgoing, that'll make sure that isn't the problem Wink

For hitch warnings, most is said in that topic. In short: as long as they're not all the time during playing, it's no problem.

I'm suspicious with openarena servers running windows, you're not the first who has problem to make it show in dpmaster.

Again, even if creating a server with an USB pen modem has no sense... You did not answer to some questions here. Have you disabled (or opened the right ports on) your Windows Firewall? What antivirus software do you use? It may include firewall features. The control program of your USB 3G modem has some "acceleration" option to disable? Can you see the connection in your "network connections" window (the one you access from Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> Communications), and launch the connection from there instead of using the control program (with that program closed)?

Spybot is not exactly an antivirus, its main goal is being an antispyware. So it may not offer the right protection to some kinds of malware. I think it should be used to integrate other antivirus softwares. For example, a free antivirus software is Avira Antivir.

Maybe some spybot additional components (one is called "teatimer" and I think it is "resident", but I'm not sure) could cause some troble for open ports? I don't now..

[OT] Also Avira Antivir casues fake alerts sometimes. You can try to let a lower level for "euristic" scan.

avg sucks, avira is best free of all in my experience.. or that was untill they updated to a new version with everything i liked about it taken out (literally) a month or two ago Sad Now have Avast, was some test actually but I'm too lazy to search a good one (there are about none), and I've disabled it all the time anyway (only scan keygens and stuff with it).

This seems interesting... do you know if they fixed someway?

I tried also using 0.8.1 instead of 0.8.5... same result: deathmask can see my server if I specify my server IP, but it does not appear in the list...

I opened/portforwarded the entire 27950-27970 UDP and TCP interval... nothing to do...

For me it was the router firmware which appearently bugged, upgrading helped. So it wasn't windows Wink

My router firmware is at its latest version... :-(

If I connect using my old 56k modem (so, no NAT at all), I can find my server on Dpmaster list... Probably the router is the problem... but I have no more ideas on how to trobleshoot...

I had an idea to try trobleshooting my issue... but it didn't work.
I installed Wireshark (packet capture software), with the goal to compare OpenArena traffic with the ADSL router and with the 56k modem...
But it cannot "see" the dial-up (PPP) connection, so I can see only the router traffic.... I have nothing to compare with! Does anyone know a way to capture dial-up packets?

Anyway, these are the "Quake 3" packets it captured:

That seems okay. If I send more heatbeats, I get more similar sequences of three packets. Should there be more packets?

You cannot see the ppp connection traffic because wireshark can capture only traffic directed to your network card ( to its MAC address ) : there's a way to silently capture ALL the traffic of your network , but I have doubts it can be easily implemented in a windows system.

Anyway , the captured packets just suggest it's ALL OK :
- your server sends the HB to the dpmaster
- the dpmaster responds asking info about your server ( getinfo )
- your server sends all its info to the dpmaster

At this point your server should be in the dpmaster list : maybe a problem while the dpmaster is trying to resolv the hostname of your server. Once I tried with my own test server I had to wait a bit before seeing it in the public list.

But remember that you must have enough bandiwidth in upload also because when the server will be online , it will be flooded by legal asynchronous requests coming from all the sources ( and they could be many in a while ) that query the dpmaster ( mostly getinfo() requests ).

With ADSL router, I had it attached for 3 hours and it didn't appeared... with 56k, it appeared immediately...

56k works and ADSL don't...

:-( :-( :-(
I don't know what to do...

You also have only these 3 kinds of packets after heartbeat?
