GooglyMoogly Posted May 18, 2002 Posted May 18, 2002 There was a player on my server that showed up in status as having a port number of -7589 whereas everyone else was roughly waht you'd expect in the 28000 range. I didn't think a negative number was even possible!?! What could cause this?. Might it be a display bug?
MatrixCPA Posted May 18, 2002 Posted May 18, 2002 You can set your "qport" as a client to pretty much whatever you want. This is sometimes necessary when you have more than one person on a LAN going through a router that uses NAT. It doesn't really make much difference.
GooglyMoogly Posted May 18, 2002 Author Posted May 18, 2002 Right, but it wasn't the qport that was negative. The ip was 65.35.106.16:-7589 Very strange no?
MatrixCPA Posted May 19, 2002 Posted May 19, 2002 The only report of port for a client via status is the qport.
GooglyMoogly Posted May 25, 2002 Author Posted May 25, 2002 I trust your opinion Matrix, you seem to know more than anyone about the server settings etc... This really isn't a big issue, but when I do a status I get both the IP port and the QPORT. It sorta looks like this: 65.113.118.85:28070 4458 Where the 4458 is the QPORT...maybe Im wrong. and never really looked at how the data lines up to the headers in status, but I swear I saw what I posted earlier. 65.113.118.85:-7589 4458 This is not the exact IP and info...but this is what it looked like.
MatrixCPA Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 Yeah, I see what you're talking about. My guess is that they are rerouting ports through their firewall in that manner.
