Server only visible for me on masterlist

Post by Psylogic »

My problem is, that I can see my server in lan AND on the masterlist, but no one else can.
Everything works fine but it's invincible for others.
It's the "Zero Gravity High Rubber Europe" server and the ip is 192.168.178.1

Hopefully waiting for support,

That's actually a different guy :)

The IP you gave is your LAN IP and useless, but not to worry, your post was made from IP 91.56.172.49. Is your server running on the same LAN as you post from?

Odd, neither that IP nor the server name appears in the master logs. There are other Zero Gravity servers, but no Europe. So it actually shouldn't even appear in your own list. Can you try and determine your server's true global IP address? It's usually printed in the logs at the start while talking to the masters in the form "Got address X.Y.Z.W:port".

What?! Is it a coincidence they named their server the same thing?!

The adress must be 91.56.172.49:52570 then.

I've got an evidence so u can see, that my server is visible for me:

Ah, now it appears. Are you on a dynamic IP? If so, you need to either get a dynamic dns name and use SERVER_DNS or you should schedule server restarts more frequently by lowering DEDICATED_IDLE.

But that's another problem :) The current problem is that your server makes itself known to the masters, but they can't ping it. You need to properly set up port forwarding: http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php? ... e_wrong.3F

How it gets onto your list is a small mystery I'll happily leave unsolved.

The administration guide said, that I have to create a rule to open the ports in the firewall, I did it...
So do I have to port forward on my router at any rate?

(My friend has the same problem but he port forwarded on his router so its a bit weird for me)

Yep, good work. And it's visible in the browsers, too.


Something you may want to do: tell your router to make the mandatory connection termination and IP reassignment at a time where nobody is playing anyway. Don't ask me how, I barely remember my old router had that option :)
