Authentication problem

[regedit]

I feel stupid for posting another problem but:

When ever i try to authenticate via regedit@forums i get the following error:
Login failed, reason: Server adress mismatch, 86.144.17.231:4534 <sent by client>
!=86.144.17.231:52451 (our address). Pharming suspected. If you are connecting
from LAN and get this error, either set "TRUST_LAN" on the server (only if your
LAN can be fully trusted, of couse) or use "SERVER_IP" to make the local IP known to the server.

I have set Trust_Lan to 1.
How can this problem be fixed?

THank You in advance.

This is a serverside problem afaik

[regedit]

can it be fixed?

Ah. You're a victim of port mangling, where the port forwarding you set up causes the master servers to see your server under a different port. To compensate, set

Code: Select all

SERVER_DNS 86.144.17.231

(or, if your public IP changes often, get a dynamic DNS entry that always points to it and enter the name of it there instead)

We're quite unprepared for other evil kinds of port mangling.

Thank You!
Its working now

uhhh, no.

Anhy idea what could be causing it this time?

[theroze]

nvm.

Well, your public IP changed. You either need to watch for that yourself and adapt SERVER_DNS every time, or get an account at, say, at dyndns.com (they recently reduced their free service, but it should still be good for your purposes), keep that up to date (they provide tools) and set SERVER_DNS to the hostname of that account.

Or you wait for the code to be able to handle your scenario by request of another setting.
