Need a little help here, i cant seem to get my server running so people online can join.
I have forwarded port 27500 - 27510 tcp-udp, but still cant seem to get people to join, they say it just times out.
I suspect that im missing something here, not to sure what else to do, i have opened the ports i thought i had to and my firewall is off, any ideas to help me overcome this issue, also if i have -ip "mynetip" in the command line when loading the server i get (udp_opensocket: bind: (0): No error) come up when i load mvdsv, when i load it without the -ip command i see my lan ip pop up in the log screen.

Thanks

yes, i have this exact same issue.

what are we missing here?

You do not need to specify the -IP if you are behind NAT.

For example, your NAT box has an IP 198.195.12.15 and you have forwarded ports 27500 - 27510 to to your local machine at address 192.168.1.20.

You can't bind the 198.195.12.15 address on your quake server machine because it is not available on that machine, instead it has "only" 192.168.1.20 available. If you do not specify the -IP everyone should be able to connect to your server if the port forwarding is correctly done.

QW.JOLLEN.SE is the same way, it has one ip available and two machines behind NAT (one for 1on1/ffa and the other for 2on2/4on4) and NONE of the configured ports has -IP set on the command line and there are 16 different ports available.

Of course I assume you have NAT box with normal ip-address (198.195.12.15 or so) and behind it there are one or more machines with some ip from 192.168.* address space.

ok sweet!
Ive got mine up and running and so does RaRe...

Any idea how to get listed on all-seeing eye?

adding:

setmaster "68.142.232.33:27243"

is sending a heartbeat, but im still not listed.

Put:


In the server.cfg for example (above check_maps). Some masters could be a bit laggy so using a few of them usually helps.

well its sending the heartbeats out...
still nothing on ASE tho )-;

You'll need to add your server to ASE trough it's menu (Server->New Server) and anyone using ASE will see it. Make sure you uncheck the "private server" checkbox before adding the server.
