Server help

(nuckalheads) #1

Can anyone help with getting my server in the et server list?

WARNING: UDP_OpenSocket: bind: WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL
WARNING: Couldn’t allocate IP port

port 27960 is open on router TCP and ODP.

I can play on lan only.

SHORTCUT

“C:\Users\Nuckalheads\Desktop\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\etded.exe” +set dedicated 2 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg +set net_ip xx.xx.xx.xxx

My ISP ip is in shortcut. Not my local ip.

You probably aren’t setting it to your router’s ip
For my router I need to open to a specific ip on my router’s ip list 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.255
I look in cmd prompt: ipconfig /all and get my (Preferred) IPv4 address
Open the ports for that ip.
set net_ip to that ip and port
Then its ready to go.(assuming no firewalls are blocking it)

Also side note: if you have you client on same network, you need to set net_port 27962 and then net_restart on your client, in order to connect.

My router

tested ported 27960

Firewall is off and i allowed port in firewall.

Shortcut
“C:\Users\Nuckalheads\Desktop\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\etded.exe” +set dedicated 2 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg +set net_ip 72.200.xx.xxx

I ran a netstat –a in command prompt and did not see port 27960.
I did see other ports that i opened like 8005,8004 that 2 other servers use but i dont see where port 27960 is used by any service.

Works fine local.

try setting server net_ip 192.168.0.10

(diaboliksmart) #5

Try not setting net_ip at-all in your command-line.

EDIT: hey, in router you have opened 192.168.0.10 not 192.168.100.10 ???

Another idea: instead of a rule with “both”, make 2 distinct rules one for TCP one for UDP

Shouldn’t External & Internal ports be the same?

External…|…IP…|.Internal
27960 27960 | 192.168.0.10 | 27960 27960 | Both | Enable

Like Zelly said: You need to set the server ip to your local ip. Your OS only is able to assign ports to your local ip/host (in your case 192.168.0.10)

Then you need, like stealth6 wrote, to set the forwarded port to the gameserver port, not port 80

I reinstalled the game on another test server. After I set up everything I went to my other computer and launched the game.
I didn’t see it in the ET server list but I could connect to it not with my lan but with my ISP ip 72.200.21.234. The game should connect to one of the 4 main servers i have listed in the server.cfg file.

If someone could try to conect to 72.200.21.234 please let me know.
I want to install the game on a 3.2gh with 6000mgs of ram on a T1 line but I need to work out all the bugs first.
