Trouble setting the port to 27960.

([ToC]Death) #1

I’m having troubel setting the port to 27960 on my Local Server. Below is what I have set up in my DI-604. The first is put in the Virtual Server section and the second is put in the FireWall section. I also set the port by putting this in my command line.

+set net_port 27960 +set com_hunkmegs 64 +set com_zoneMegs 32 +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game shrubet +set fs_homepath 27960 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec server.cfg +exec punkbuster.cfg.

Virtual Server - Enabled.

Name - [ToC] Clan Server.

Private IP - 192.168.0.103.

Protocol Type - UDP.

Private Port - 27960.

Public Port - 27960.

Schedule - Always.

In my firewall I have:

Firewall Rules - Enabled.

It’s set to allow everything below to pass through the DI-604.

Name - [ToC] Clan Server.

Source - WAN,*.

Destination - 192.168.0.103.

Protocol - UDP,27960.

Am I missing anything, or did I put set it up wrong?

Why is fs_homepath 27960? This should be a path to the base directory of your ET install.

Try this command line:

+set fs_game shrubet +set net_port 27960 +set com_hunkmegs 64 +set com_zoneMegs 32 +set dedicated 2 +set sv_punkbuster 1 +exec punkbuster.cfg +exec server.cfg

You might also try with fs_homepath pointing to the right directory.

Also, you may have a problem because your server has a private (non-routable) IP set (192.168.0.103). If your goals is to set up an internet server I do not know if you have to add the “real” external IP to your machine. I have never set up a server this way, so I cannot help you there.

You might also try allowing TCP traffic.

I suggest you solve one problem at a time. First make sure your fix the command line problems first, then, once you can connect from your local LAN, try to tackle the firewall/addressing problems.

fs_home is an extra layer somewhat like fs_game. It is only needed if you want to run multiple servers from the same install, and in that case, one convention is to name each fs_home after the server port it is running.

You might also try allowing TCP traffic.

You do not need to enable tcp.

hmmm, Ok then fs_homepath 27960 does make sense, but still I would put the full path in there, not just a relative path.

if you only run 1 server then leave out the fs_homepath directive and ET is always UDP, not TCP.

I have set my router + firewall like this in the special applications section of my router (Sitecom DSL / Cable router DC202)

application: ET.exe or just ET
local ports range: 27960 - 27990
remote ports range: 27960 - 27990
protocol: UDP

and I start the server using a batchfile.

it uses this:
+set dedicated 2 +set fs_game shrubet +set net_port 27960 +exec server.cfg <— this is sufficient for me tho…

my problem is that it does allow ppl to connect, but the port is always sumthing like 60341 (always in the 60000’s). i want it so my port stays the same, so that my clanmembers dont hav to keep asking me what the new port is.
