Server not showing up in Game Browser

[Pyldrvr]

Ive seen posts about this before. I never had any problems with it until today. I was previously running my server on XP Pro. Today I reformatted and put windows 2000 server. I am using a legal copy of the game - no cracks. For some reason my server will not show up in the browser or ASE anymore.

Firewall is allowing port 28960. Same settings it was working on yesterday.

Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this to a few of us? I assume other people are successfully running servers on win2k server...

Here is a copy of my config file...

Any help is appreciated.

//Server Heartbeat======================
seta sv_master1 "codmaster.activision.com"
seta sv_master2 "master0.gamespy.com"
seta sv_gamespy "1"

[Pyldrvr]

My heartbeat seems to resolve just fine. I never needed this stuff in my config before... Im not getting any errors on the console, but Ill give this a try anyways. Im desperate at this point.

[Pyldrvr]

well, i dropped those lines of code at the bottom of my config_mp.cfg.

doesnt seem to help. although It does seem to be reporting to ASE. Unless my ASE just remembers it from before today.

Shrugs. This is starting to be the suck. Ive been monkeying around with it for hours.

[Tighten]

drop those in your server.cfg (whatever you have it named)

and use seta instead of set.

Ok I tried that, it still didnt work.
any other ideas?

[Tighten]

did you take a look at the console and make sure your information is getting through to the master server?

[Pyldrvr]

Yup everything is going through just fine on the console. No errors, nothing. It still shows up for those that put it in thier favorites prior to me switching operating systems.

This morning I turned off the server, and switched the IP address on an XP machine to the same one as the server has. It was previously working on an xp box up until yesterday when I put win2k on the same box. I started a server from the xp box and it wasnt showing up either.

I think somehow gamespy is blocking my ip and not showing it. I might have a solution. Im going to try changing my external ip address and see if that works. Ill report back on if this works.

[Taradon]

I just spent several hours trying to figure out why our server was not appearing in the server list. I could connect to the IP address without any problem every time, but no matter what changes I made ... configuring net_ip, enabling UDP ports, changing cfg files etc etc ...I simply could not see the server in the browse list.

I finally tracked the problem to a cracked CoDMP.exe file that had been uploaded to the server.

The company that we rent the server from (who shall remain unnamed) were asked to upload the game onto the server for us to configure. They did so ... eventually, but failed to mention the cracked file.

An original file will display the following message in the console after the heartbeat signal to codmaster.activision.com:

Resolving codauthorize.activision.com
codauthorize.activision.com resolved to 63.146.124.59:20500

The cracked version was not sending this message.

I hope this will save some of you a little time in getting your servers sorted out.

:?

[Pyldrvr]

Damn didnt work. Im at a loss here.

[Tighten]

There is no need for a GSP to use cracked anything? I have no idea why there would be or why they would use a cracked file?

We use nothing but legal copies on our servers, and I believe 90% of the companies out there do the same. I think you should talk to them about it. Maybe they are not aware of this for some reason.

Anyway - whatever master server you add to your server.cfg they should all resolve like the above post has stated.

[Pyldrvr]

Finally tracked down the problem. There was a NAT exception table in our firewall that was configured incorrectly. It was broadcasting the ip of the firewall instead of the external ip of the server. Damn that was a bitch. It's working now, thanks for all the help guys.

[Tighten]

Glad to hear it.

Im dealing with the exact same problem right now. I have no clue what this means or how to do it. Gonna help the rest of us who are having the same prob out?

Anywho. I have win xp, my windows firewall is disabled. I have Zone Alarm free version, but even when I shut it down, my server still doesnt show. Ive inputed the commands to the master servers into my server.cfg. Still nothing. Ive went thru so much, but I dont know what else to do. Ive set up servers for SOF2 with no probs, but I dont get this one at all. People can hook up, it is online, just gotsta do it thru entering the IP.

No router either. And i tried a server spy prog and it couldnt resolve my IP. Dont know if that helps, or means anything.

Im pulling my hair out. Ive been at it for 2 days straight. :?

[Pyldrvr]

Post a copy of your shortcut properties, and your config file.

Also a good way to test is to throw your pc bare ass on the internet with no firewalling of any kind(make damn sure your virus software is up to date) just for a few minutes and see if it shows up then. Also are you using a cracked .exe? If you are using a cracked .exe it will not show up in gamespy ever.

[NFC_Pickard]

Im not on a router. My connection is straight in thru my cable modem. Ive disabled windows firewall, and had Zone Alarm shut-down to see if it would show up. It didnt.

Here is my shortcut

"C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe" +set dedicated 2 +exec nfcserver.cfg +map_rotate +set net_port 28960

note. I had a friend hook up thru a server spy tool, and he had to use port 28961 for some reason. Ive got a few server progs, and they hook up to the IP and port just fine though.

Here is my server.cfg

No. All the CTF mod stuff isnt the prob. Ive taken um out and still same result. No showy up.

Check console and make sure all the master servers are resolving.

[Pyldrvr]

You sure your not using a cracked .exe?

Also, I dont set the net port, and I dont have to have all the master server stuff in there for mine to work. only time you'd probably need the net port is if you were using something other than 28960.

Here's my config that is working. Pretty basic.

No. Im not using a cracked exe. Straight out of the game. Ive been using the console to let me know when im kicking around correctly. Im resolveing them fine, cept when I added gamespy, it doesnt show the codautherize server I added.

I tried deleting um and just letting it do it itself. Nothing.

[Sphinx]

For how long have you left the server up? The reason i´m asking is that i had problems like this the other day and for some reason my server did´nt want to show up in the list untill it had been running for about an hour...still have the same thing,if i reeboot server i have to wait quite some time before it shows up.

You guys seem very adept at this though so that´s probably not it...but hey,sometimes it´s the simplest of things causing the biggest problems...

Just thought i´d ask even though i admit i´m probably the biggest n00b in here... :oops:

[OldandSlow]

Looking at Pikard's config - I see two lines the same:

seta sv_master2 "codauthorize.activision.com"
seta sv_master2 "master0.gamespy.com"


Looks like one should be a "master3".

I just started a Linux server and can't get mine to show either - you can connect manually with: connect 12.96.166.226:28960 and get into the game & play just fine.

My config is pretty basic as well - with the master servers set.

Here is my run output:

Any ideas?

[Tighten]

It appears to be resolving to both servers. I would not bank on GameSpy as a true test of anything. Although by your console output readings it should get to the COD master.

[OldandSlow]

OK - it is working now - both the browser and GameSpy show the server.

Here is what was needed - My server is co-located at my ISP who has a firewall in place. It blocks ports both coming and going. I had previously requested port 28960 opened both ways for UDP and TCP - we found that both protocols are required to even connect.

Last night I had him open ports 20500 and 20510 for outgoing traffic and now the server is visible to the world.

Hope that helps someone else, too...

Hurray!

[dazerrackers]

I looked through all this, and thanks for all your help guys!! :D
