Server not showing up in server list

[maddtim]

Ok, I'm stumped. I've searched all of these forums looking for answers to these questions and have found none. I have a dedicated server running 2 jk2 instances (have tried it with 1 as well) behind a firewall and nothing shows up in the server list. I checked my firewall logs and the heartbeat is definitely getting out and being resolved to the proper IP address (240.97.248.90). I've added and subtracted from my config files, tried looking for other ports it wanted to use, and tried launching with the jk2mp.exe AND jk2ded.exe but nothing works. People can join and see the server no problem with it in their favorites. Here's the command line and config file I use:

 

d:\program files\\whatever\\gamedata\jk2mp.exe +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 28067 +exec server.cfg

What am I doing wrong????

Fortunately, I've never run into this problem myself. I've seen several different suggestions to help with it. One is to use a port other than 28070--which you are already doing. Another is to set g_forcenonlocal "1". I haven't seen that cvar before, but some admins swear by it. You might also try using the dedicated server binary instead of the mp game exe. In the end there seems to be multiple causes and potential solutions. You might also want to make sure that ports 28060-28062 are open and forwarded--that's recommended by Raven. Good luck.

Good luck.

 

Actually, I think you hit the nail on the head with your last sentance. "Luck". That's about what it takes. I've got net_forcenonlocal set to 1, I have all of the ports open appropriately (as per Raven's support instructions) and I've tried it on 28071-28073, all with no appearance in the silly list. Like the first post, friends can join by adding it to favorites just fine.

 

So I do think it boils down to a big cup o' luck. Or, like Bill Parcells says in that Office Depot commercial: "Prayin wouldn't hurt either."

I haven't seen g_forceonlocal car before but I'll try it. As far as the ports go, I have 28060-28100 open, both ways, and redirected by my firewall specifically to the server that is hosting. It may be a luck issue. Or could it possibly be that the master server only lists a certain number of servers and it's first ping first shown?
