Hello,
I’m trying to get ET to work from behind a firewall - I just cannot seem to connect to servers I know exist, nor do I get a list of servers to connect to when going to join a game. This is with punkbuster either on or off, and with ports 27960 and 27951 open on tcpip both in & out to all IP space.
The game appears to fail getting the server list from the master, but appears to connect to the server. In the console when connecting to a working server I get:
PunkBusterClient: Connected to server at 194.153.168.245:27960
PunkBusterClient: Cdkey Registration Request sent to GuidAuth Master at 192.246.40.62:27960 (779832297)
repeat last line to infinity…
The server I know is working because although I can’t see people on it from inside the game - I’m connected to the server via ssh and can see people are playing it from the console feedback.
Theres a chance other ports are being used, but as I’m not the sysadmin here I can’t check or tweak the firewall
However if there are any particular ranges or ports that need to be opened then I’de like to know. I’ve searched the web for this info but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated, thnx
