Re: [hlds] Running behind a firewall, getting the external IP to register....
Important note: You won't be able to see your own server in the server browser if you have both the server and your client behind the same router, use a 3rd party browser like gamemonitor to check and make sure you got all the launch options set right. When I was with Quest using a Cisco 678, or more recently their crappy Actiontec router, I never saw my own server, though others did. With Centel using a Westell 2100 in front of a WRT54G, I always see my own server in the Steam list. I figured it was ISP dependant for some technical reason that I remain ignorant of. Anyone know why this is? I vaguely recall discussing it a few years ago, but dont' remember if anyone actually had a definitive answer. A few years ago I was going through low-end-cheap-crap-router-hell, and tried to run behind a Belkin router. I never got the Steam master servers list to pick me up. Never, even if I put my box in the dmz. dLink was similarly evil. Switched to Netgear and it worked for a while, but my open nap server was maxing out the routing table because I had a 1000 user opennap server, and this would stop incoming connections until there was a free spot in the table. I switched to Linksys, which has a bigger routing table, and all of my problems went away. I'm still of the opinion that some routers block something or otherwise block/corrupt packets that other routers don't, and is a big part of the problem of servers not appearing on the master list. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
RE: [hlds] Running behind a firewall, getting the external IP to register....
The only times I've had problems showing up on the master servers, it could always be attributed to a missing SNAT rule. Bottom line, requests came in on one of the extra IPs assigned to my firewall, but they went out the default IP. A SNAT rule would rewrite things so that it properly showed the correct source IP from my server as the extra IP, and not the default (hosts expected .23, but received the response from the default of .22). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ook Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 10:41 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Running behind a firewall, getting the external IP to register Everytime I've started up a server, the master servers have always had it in less then 60 seconds.

RE: [hlds] Running behind a firewall, getting the external IP to register....
FWIW, I'm running a Sonicwall TZ170 on this particular connection. All in all, it's more than a tad irritating. I've run HLDS behind a firewall in the past and never experienced this issue and I can't believe Valve would be so shortsighted as to design the server/trackers such that they do not work for servers behind a NAT/PAT configuration. The firewall performs stateful packet inspection but it's configured to route the ports as a public server. Maybe packet size? Could be packets are fragmenting as they pass-through/leave the firewall.

RE: [hlds] TF2 Admin Listener
I have been using Remote Voice admin for TF2. Works great so far! Here's how it works: Whenever I play TF2 (or any game really) I am in a Ventrilo server with all the Admins from my community. A few of them don't have TF2 yet but they can still admin the server via HLSW. I simply call out a guys name or steam ID (via Status in console) over Ventrilo and like magic the offending player is either banned or kicked as needed. Cvars can be changed just at will... And the best part is the Admin remains completely anonymous! All admin mods should work this easily. :) I'm thinking of offering this as a service.. Voice Admin! Coming soon to a server near you!

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Maybe valve is just using the value you send in +ip as the address for servers rather than the endpoint address.

RE: [hlds] Running behind a firewall, getting the external IP to register....
Noctaire I can relate to your problem although I don't have a solution as of yet. I have 10 servers on 2 boxes that are on a NAT firewall and people can play on them fine but they do not show up on the Steam Master Server List (SMSL). So they essentially sit there empty. The firewall must doing something to the packets that the SMSL doesn't like. I have been planning to do some packet sniffing to attempt to make some sense of this problem but have not had the time. Also, for clarification, what kind of firewall is it? Make and Model, if known. qUiCkSiLvEr: For clarification, the Wiki states: Source Dedicated Server: Command-line parameters -ip - Specifies the IP when multiple network cards are installed. Console variables +ip - Specifies the IP when multiple network cards are installed (Old, but still works). Half-Life Dedicated Server (Gold Source, i.e. CS 1.6) Some useful console variables : +ip - Specifies the IP when multiple network cards are installed. The -ip or +ip parameter is used when you have multiple IP's on the Server so that HLDS or SRCDS knows which IP (of the available IP's) you want to bind to. >From my experience you can only use the -ip or +ip if you have that IP bound to one of your network cards. If you attempt to use an external IP when the server has a Private LAN IP address the server won't start. The SMSL will normally use the public IP from which it sees your server connect from.

A...I did not know that. Thanks for the tip. Right now I'm working on putting together a decent server.cfg file as well. Someone over on the SRCDS forums posted a zipfile of spreadsheets with a TON of cvars and such; pretty sweet. A bit disappointing, not having a good sample server.cfg though. I hate building 'em from scratch. One thing I'm not seeing is a token to eliminate respawn delays (but then again, that may be the default and the servers I've hit with delays added the delay).

Oh, I understand that of course. Problem is, the server doesn't show up in the list of available servers; i.e., it's not in the public server list. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
