Bug in ET server.. who can help?

(sky35366) #1

There seems to be a problem with ET server.

I have a server running Redhat 9 and ET server with the patch
the server is behind a router. I have a client running windows XP that is also behind the router with in turn has internet access.

when I try to connect to the server with the client machine I get disconnected with the following error:

same CD key on computer with different IP.

I think they left dome code in from wolfenstein or something. Why is there a CD key check in a free game.

Is there any solution to this problem ?

If you are running Punkbuster, I think your problem is related to this:

from PB’s site:

[b]PB_SV_LanMask [IP Subnet Mask]
This setting is used for Internet Servers that also have local LAN game clients connecting; it should be set to hold the subnet of the LAN; for example, if the LAN IP Addresses are 192.168.1.x, then set pb_sv_lanmask to 192.168.1

And cd keys are created for the free games to help PB track cheaters and other idiots.
