oh shoot! my server has stopped showing up!

[dkiller]

Hey everyone, Ive been running a dedicated server for a bit, and have finally decided to start working on it again. Right now, I am working from germany, rather than the US, and I have not been able to get my server to show up in the list. I have talk_to_master set to 1, and the server ports listed on the default one, 4534. Im running a mac dedicated sty-compiled server, and its up right now. If youd like a snippet of my server, heres its start-up procedure.

Might I add, that I can see it and connect to it perfectly in lan
BUT, it does not show up on the servers page, nor can any of my friends find it

<edit> i also found out, that I hae a pre-resricted cone nat router. Does that mean anything important to me?

The kind of router does not matter; you need to set up port forwarding for all kinds.
A problem may be the port. You say your server is on 4534, but the logs say it's on 4536. You probably added configuration files from somewhere that change the port. You either need to adapt your port forwarding rules or change the port back.

[dkiller]

RIght, sorry, forgot that I did indeed change that ago. Now I have it back to port 4534, and yet the server still does not show up in http://www.armagetronad.net/servers.php. shouldn't the server show up there if the log indeed says, it connects to the master, logs in and succeeds?

[Z-Man]

No. The masters also ping the servers and only list those where pings got successful answers. If the masters can't ping a server, nobody else can, and nobody can connect, so there is no point in listing those servers. How can you make pings succeed? Set up port forwarding correctly.
