server wont show up

[oZ_INF]

my UT99 dedicated SErver wont show up even though im not behind a router. or even my unreal 1 server from my cable connection.

iT IS Advertised, do uplink is true and do beacon is true.

I am NOT behind a router, back in the day like 2001 i never had this problem but now this has become an issue. My fire wall is OFF also. Is my ISP blocking this action? if so what can be done? shouldnt have to forward ports if im not behind a routeR? just a regular cable modem from comcast, not even wireless does anyone know why?

You try to see it from your lan or wan ip ?
What is the ip server ?

[Torax]

Probably you must open ports for incoming connections. Supposedly.
I alsways getting same sort of problems when tryin' to set up server - because it's only LAN, connection ports are closed, and i have no access to main server, which supports internet for my PC.

You will also need to replace your masterserver list

the ip it says in the connection info is 10.0.0.3:7777

Even if it is NOT behind a firewall, would i still have to forward ports?

and this command:

[UWeb.WebServer]
Applications[0]=UTServerAdmin.UTServerAdmin
ApplicationPaths[0]=/ServerAdmin
bEnabled=False

Enabling it to true would help it show up?


i bookmarked those links u sent me thank you i will read up on this.

Edit--------------------------------- papercoffee

yes i see it from the lan tab but not in the all servers or populated servers list

Edit--------------------------------- papercoffee

using unreal tournament goty 436 patch. should it be 451?

also i noticed in my unrealtournament.ini, it says

ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=unreal.epicgames.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.mplayer.com MasterServerPort=27900

but when i read that 333networks tutorial, it says to use:

ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=unreal.epicgames.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.telefragged.com MasterServerPort=27500

also my list facories are

ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=utmaster.epicgames.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut
ListFactories[1]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut

but it says to use this?

[UBrowserAll]
ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=unreal.epicgames.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut
ListFactories[1]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut

also, i rent a 32 player server for unreal 1 and a 12 player. just never experiemented with home servers before.

Please avoid this multi-posts ...this is a forum and no IRC-chat.

You have a section in UT.ini named [Ipserver.UDPServerUplink]?

if not, add it. And underneath add like so

Code: Select all

[Ipserver.UDPServerUplink]
DoUplink=True

[Wises]

open your router settings...

open cmd prompt (DOS) WIN+R , Type cmd [enter]
type : ipconfig [enter]

find the DefaultGateway IP.

maybe something like this;

10.0.0.1 or 10.0.1.254

open browser and enter this address.. login page or router settings should display.

find the model of your router then goto: www.portforward.com , find UnrealTournament and relevant port settings.

the router is a firewall in most cases.

ok thanks, one more thing should my ip be static or dynamic? or does it matter?

Edit------------------- by papercoffee

yup douplink is set to true hehe

No double posts please!!

[Wises]

static is preferred for server hosting.. however .. not necessary.

Dynamic IP will be problematic for clients that 'bookmark' or ;Add to favorites' your server.

if/when your IP changes 'Dynamically' it will be assumed by the clients that your server is offline.

there is a workaround which is quite clumsy and bit tricky .. but you can set up your rig to use a 3rd party DNS provider.. which will query your router for the new IP address.. or vice versa I forget..

you will then provide a URI link instead of a fixed ip.. which clients will need to add to their favorites.. (can't remember if this works)

however the concept is ... that although your IP changes .. the URI does not.. hence.. they can connect through website unreal://somedns.noip.org:7777 or such..

I have experimented with this in the past and it's somewhat AWKWARD.

Ok sorry i dont want to double post, ill try to ask one more time and maybe someone can give me a simplier, clearer explanation cuz i dont wanna bug you guys about this forever. i am familar with forwarding ports when i had a router. but now i am not on a router anymore so my server should show up automatically. everything works fine but my ip reads 10.0.0.3 and i believe my ISP might be blocking me from running a server. Is there any way around this?

[Wises]

sure.. try these

[oZ_INF]

I fixed the problem with the help of David Nash aka arc zena The problem was I had to enable DMZ and /or port forward 7777 and 7778. Even though I DO NOT have a router. Not sure if both or just one of those options fixed it, but it works!!!!!!! thanks

[[ARC]zena]

Always go back to the Basics ....make sure and then go upward.....
was fun helping...
and BTY
[ARC]ZenA .....
it was a pleasure to help bring another server on line.
see ya in the maps
don't forget to bring your ZarK.
peaceout

but when i read that 333networks tutorial, it says to use (...)

I wrote given tutorial almost five or six years ago now, I think. It probably needs a little bit of revision-- a lot happened since. Did it help, though?

[oZ_INF]

yes it was easy to understand
