Title: [SOLVED] Router dedicated and port forwarding issue (Plese HELP!!!!!)
Post by: Biszkhopt on January 19, 2009, 01:11:58 pm
OK, I know that this is known issue, but unfortunately browsing web I don't manage to find solution. Firstly I'll describe the problem:

i have Linksys WRT54GL router with custom firmware "Tomato" ver 1.20 (linux based with more functions, overclock ability etc.)

I set up port forwarding (30720) to ip that router gives me (i set up so every time i connect i have 192.168.1.121)

i have Fedora Core 10 with 2.6.27-9 kernel (if it change anything with KDE 4.2 RC) installed and I'm starting server with

Quote
./tremded.x86 +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg +set net_port 30720 +set fs_homepath /home/biszkhopt/.tremulous +net_ip 192.168.1.121

and my output is

Unfortunately after that i cant see my server either in local or internet master list.
Any ideas what could be a problem, any help would be appreciated!

I'm not sure what NAT tomato uses, but if its shit then you will never see your server from inside the network.
Do you have the ports forwarded right?
If you do, then run qstat (or xqf for a nice GUI) and see if it lists your server.  It may count as a timeout for you but work for the rest of the world.
If it doesn't, you can use wireshark to see if the master server's getinfo's are getting through.
Also check the host firewall.

I don't really know how to check qstat, however my firewall (on fedora) was set to forward exactly same port to mine ip so i really don't know what might be wrong.

This is how it looks (I'm not sure about firewall conf coz i put my ip, because I have no idea what other one I could possibly place there)

You don't have to use port forwarding on your server PC, in fact I'm not sure if linux handles the case when you forward a port to it's own IP, it could just discard those packets. Just check that the port is not blocked in your firewall, that's probably in the "Trusted Services" or "Other Ports" sections.

OK,  but even without this port forwarding can't see my server it just sending heartbeats like that

Yuppiii!!!! Issue solved i shall thank you, and beat my self for mine stupidity. Allowing port (30720) from host firewall solved problem.
Now i can see my server in master list.

SO THIS IS CONCLUSION TO ALL PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUE:


1 - CHECK IF YOU ARE FORWARDING PORT ON YOUR ROUTER (FOR ALL PEOPLE WITH LINKSYS WRT SERIES I RECOMMEND USING "TOMATO" FIRMWARE)

2 - SET UP YOUR FIREWALL TO ALLOW THAT PORT (I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT DISABLING IS GOOD IDEA)

3 - MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE STARTING SERVER WITH:
       
         
Quote
+set net_port 30720

         or any port you're using to start server

         and

         
Quote
+net_ip youreip

        good luck!

So how do you change the settings that come up in command prompt when you start your server?

Umm that was quite unnecessary, as that was related because he posted that one solution was to make sure it was set up as "+set net_port 30720" so please dont be a Jerk while I'm trying to learn.
