the console contains the following...

interestingly, individuals are jumping onto the server. however, i cannot see the server, even when attempting to locate from a different computer on a different network in a different location. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey man, if you were having this problem today, I noticed Gamespy was REALLY screwed up today so don't worry. Wasn't showing mine either. They're flaky. I've had this problem before and it's on their end. People have messed with it and messed with it only to find their server's suddenly listed! Really strange.

As long as people can join your server and play you're cool. Nothing in the port forwarding on the linksys will change the Gamespy thing. It'll pop up after an hour or so of being up sometimes. Again, no idea why.

yeah, i noticed that too. this was my first day to try to launch, so perhaps that is the problem. otherwise i have no clue. the worrisome issue is that it does not show up on the embedded CoD server list either.

finally, my apologies for not reading my post closer. i noticed that i included my rcon password, which i will have to change. hate it when i do stupid things....

thanks again lib and any others that might post advice...

Doh! I didn't look, really :smile:

Others chime in here. Am I right? I tore my hair out trying to "fix" this once and it didn't matter as long as you have the correct ports inbound for CoD. I'll check my router tonight just to be sure.

[HankScorpio]

This is usually caused by not having the port to the master server open but if you've looked at all the other posts here then you'd know that so...

[hemepositive]

i believe that i said i looked at many (not all) of the posts. would love to hear further explanation, or direction to said post. had no such issues launching MOHAA server. also, i never had to specifiy net ip for public address, even though my mohaa server was putatively sending my private ip (at least that's what it stated in console).

thanks in advance for any advice....

[HankScorpio]

There's a sticky regarding router ports in this forum. I just re-read it because it's been a while. It would seem the solution varies depending on your situation. Most documentation out there says you only need to open and forward port 28960 udp. Since you say MOHAA worked just fine with your current setup that's what leads me to believe it may still be the master browser ports you need to open since that's a difference between CoD and MOHAA. Those are 20510 and 20500 udp and they're outbound in case your router blocks outbound by default. Since you're running Windows verify that you don't have the Ethernet connection firewalled.

[Storm]

first, try updating your router firmware. I have a linksys router and have encountered the same problems. Cod is the only game i have this problem with. Sometimes it shows up, sometimes it dosent. The only thing I can tell you for sure is that the game shows up in the all seeing eye list...
