tomcat_ 0 Posted August 9, 2007 I have run into a weird problem. My server is not showing ping on the main list of servers, instead is showing a questionmark. Yet, if you put the ip directly then the server is coming up with a ping. Everyone can join and has normal ping, but on the list still is not showing. I had a look on the list and a few other servers have similar problem with a questionmark. All 3 ports are open on the router....however, is there a different port or protocol that used for returning ping on the list? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like your Router are blocking ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol). Try to Enable it. You can maybe ask some friends, to try ping your IP(server). If the ICMP are blocked, they can't ping you, they will get an error. Something like "Ping request could not find host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx......" Or maybe it's the Win XP firewall that are making some trouble. But i believe maybe it's your router.

bobby budnick 0 Posted August 9, 2007 The problem is with your router/firewall(s). Make sure you are able to send UDP packets through the NAT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evilnate 0 Posted December 28, 2007 I would like to know the solution to this problem, i'm having it myself. I have a huge range open on my firewall for testing but my ping is still a question mark in the MP lobby. Anyone know why? *Problem solved* My router is a linksys WRT54G and I had to update the firmware to get it to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
