How do you think that dedi's check the CD-Keys from people that join to make sure it's not already in use? It has a port just for that.
That would be outgoing if it's verified with the master server anyway, no need for an open forwarded port. Either way, it never was a problem till a couple of weeks ago; just 1 port forwarded and everything worked fine but all of a sudden things changed. Must be gamespy.
so your saying i have to port forward EVERY one of those ports...
? No just one...
what one?
Default is 2302 but you can change it using the -port command line switch.
turn off all your firewall shit and port 80, 2302, and 2303
Don't turn off your firewall, one of those port I listed I think has to do with the server ping on the gamespy list, if not I don't know then.
You could try that for a short period and put your server PC in the DMZ and check again.. i doubt it'll have a ping.
