HaloCE Dedicated server ports not forwarding.

[blazer9131]

Hey,

I have a .bat setup as follows:

haloceded.exe -port 6578 -exec init.txt -cpu 1

Before I begin, I want to state that I do -know- what I'm doing, and I have had this server up in the past before.

So, I had this server up and running (full most of the time too) 3-4 months ago. Now, whenever I run it, it starts up like normal, and the normal "server running <map> 0/16" prints every 5 seconds or whatever. However, when I try to join it, it keeps saying either "Negotiating connection" or "joining game ip:random port" where random port is a.. random port, not the port specified in my .bat. My brother is able to connect, but by direct IP only (Same network). I asked a few of my friends to join by direct ip/port, but they were unable to. I checked if the port visible, and apparently, uTorrent and seemyport.com say it's not open. The server PC has DMZ enabled, since I host a whole ton of stuff on there.. All my other servers ports work fine, uTorrent's port works (41241) my FTP server port works fine (8811, 21 is blocked by my ISP) HTTP server port works (9131, again 80/8080 blocked by ISP). All my friends (outside of my network) are able to connect to FTP and HTTP. Just the halo ports do not work. I have tried launching the exe alone, and still nothing.. Different ports won't work either.

(software firewalls are letting haloceded.exe accept and transmit all network connections as well)
Anyone know what's going on?


I tried using haloceded.exe v1.0.0.6, v1.0.7 and v1.0.8 v1.0.9.. (I think those are correct)

I'm on Win7 btw. lol
Thanks.
