Title: Can't see server list behind an evil router
Post by: thedamocles on February 09, 2007, 10:25:04 am

I can't see the server list inside the game, and I can't join any game. But under Day of Defeat (or any Half Life Mod), I can see server list and play. D:

I have selected the right option (source internet, get server list, refresh), but it did not work :( ! I have also tried to connect directly trought an IP, but it did not work too...

I think that if I can use the port of Day of Defeat, I've some chance to see the server list, but I do not know how to change the port used by Tremulous...

Can you help me ?

Getting the list and joining a server only require an outgoing connection, most routers do not filer these.
The most probably cause is a software fire wall that is not allowing tremulous to connect to the internet.

I tested today to be sure : it's not a problem of firewall, I've desactivated the XP firewall, and I've not any other firewall...

I'm in a student room, this can explain that the router is so drastic. I think I really need to use the same port that Day of Defeat. How can I change the port used by Tremulous ?

You cant change the port, the server gets to choose.

try doing /connect 66.92.134.200:30720 from the console, and if it connects then the server list can be worked around, and you should be fine. If it wont then I'm all out of ideas.

Ok, I'll try it later...

I tried to configure TREMULOUS a bit, with the help of these post :

- http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=779&highlight=netport

But it did not work, you may have right.
