Aerys Posted April 29, 2002 Posted April 29, 2002 If I configure using the Gateway's IP I get WSAE errors that the IP address is not available when the server tries to open the UDP ports (which of course is correct since the server is not running on that IP) but if I configure using the server's IP address I'm not getting out to the internet (because the server is on an internal non-published IP address). The dedicated launcher application uses the gateway address by default.
Sysgod Posted April 29, 2002 Posted April 29, 2002 Usually you have to NAT at your Firewall/Gateway. For instance - Server address - 172.16.3.1 (internal IP) NAT address - 200.101.0.1 (external IP) A rule or whatever on your Firewall/Gateway makes your Internal IP virtually the External IP and vice-versa.
MatrixCPA Posted April 29, 2002 Posted April 29, 2002 In other words, you need to tell the firewall to forward the port the server is run on to the server (as well as 28060-28062 inclusive).
Aerys Posted May 1, 2002 Author Posted May 1, 2002 I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I am already doing port forwarding. I'm asking what Net IP to use in the config file or batch file. Its working by not specifying an IP address... I just want to know the "right" way to do it...
MatrixCPA Posted May 1, 2002 Posted May 1, 2002 Unless you have multiple ip's for your server, you shouldn't specify a net_ip. Even after you remove it from your command line and any configs, make sure that it didn't copy it into your jk2mpconfig.cfg as well. If it did, delete it from there as well.
Aerys Posted May 3, 2002 Author Posted May 3, 2002 That explains why it is working as well as it is. Thanks for the info. Its nice to see the old adages like K.I.S.S. being followed in the industry today.
