=Grip= 0 Posted April 22, 2007 i've been having a issue where my server ping shows up as a ? and won't return a ping on the gamespy list. i am using a router (linksys cable/dsl befsr41v3) any help would be appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mosh 0 Posted April 22, 2007 I had to port forward my router for 2302, 2303, and 2305 for UDP. I also use 'armedass.master.gamespy.com' for reporting IP. Basically open main port, main port +1 (for reporting), and main port +3. Dedicated Server Wiki info Mosh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fonsy 0 Posted May 12, 2007 I have all ports forwared, and still having the same problem, like is disscused here. I'm about to give up on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobby budnick 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Same problem here. I'm sure it's heavily affecting traffic to my server because most of the time it seems to appear on the very bottom of the list. I have forwarded every port imaginable and it still doesn't work. Worse, gamespy's website and google return very little useful information. Soon, I am going to try the DMZ feature on my router but for me it's not as easy as just entering an IP into a home router. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have port 1562 forwarded tcp and udp. If no one here knows, I suppose I will go to the official forums for my router and see what they have to say. Edit: Also curious are the 'admin prohibited filter' entries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobby budnick 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Problem Solved!!! I am so happy right now. This has been such a battle. It's 4:25 AM and I have been working hard on this for a while. A little background: I was using monowall up until to this point. It is a great firewall, but it is clear it is targeted more for businesses and professionals. Not so much gamers. I just tried the live cd of a fork of monowall called pfsense and after researching for a while I found a few gaming related posts in their forums. It turns out I needed a feature in pfsense called static ports. Static ports (as opposed to dynamic ones) send out udp and tcp on the same port as they are supposed to be received. Most firewalls/routers intentionally obscure the sending port for security. This was causing problems for the dedicated server and gamespy apparently. So I am sticking with pfsense for now and crosssing my fingers that it keeps working. So....come join the Camp Anawanna dedicated server now that it should be off of the bottom of the server list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fonsy 0 Posted May 15, 2007 Problem Solved!!! Thanks to share this with us. I use pfSense in some clients offices, but for this small network (where the server is at), it did not seem to me that was worth enough. I'll think to use some old machine (with pfSense), or try with other router something more advanced. Anyway, thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
