Hi everyboby!
I'm trying to setup a dedicated CoD server. My setup is the following:
The linux box I run the CoD server on is also the gateway for my LAN, so it has 2 NIC's one with my public IP and the other with the tipical 192.168.1.1.
My firewall allow all the outgoing traffic without any restrictions and block all the incoming traffic fron the net unless I specify otherwise, so I opened both TCP and UDP ports 28960, 28961 on my firewall to allow connections from outside players.
I start the server and it seems fine. If I try to join the server from any of my windows machines inside my LAN I get stuck at "Awaiting for CD Key authorization". My copy is legit and I have no problem at all connecting to other servers on the net.
The strange thing is that if I forward those ports to a Windows machine on my LAN and I start it as Windows server using the same config file I use on the linux box, I can connect no problem.
Any suggestion is more than welcome.
