How to Set Up a Dedicated CoD(UO)(2) Server Behind a Firewall By OldDog



NOTE: This is targeted to the home-based server admin. For you that rent servers from a provider company, most of this is already taken care of for you. However, the principals are the same.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: This document is not plug and play. It is NOT a tutorial for every router/firewall available on the market. Nor is it a tutorial for any SPECIFIC router/firewalls. It mentions Netgear and LinkSys, but doesn't contain screenshots of these units. What this document attempts to provide is some basics of firewalls, routers, IP addressing, and how to get your CoD Server up and visible to the Internet. If you are unwilling to read the manuals and tutorials that come with these devices, dont bother reading any further.

ONE MORE ADDITIONAL NOTE: The only topics covered in this document regarding server configuration files are those that directly relate to connecting through a router/firewall and the successful publishing of your server. Any other configuration stuff is covered in far better documents, guides, and tutorials on this site.

Ive been trying to figure this one out for awhile now, and I need some help.

Im trying to start my own CoD dedicated server behind a firewall and am having some issues. I have the proper ports forwarded on the router, and for now the windows firewall off.

Im at the point where, i could almost not care about the silly server, I just wanna see it work.

Ok is this a Linux Server and is this behind a router.

[{KP}Freeman]

I have the same problem
i have a windows XP Computer.

I got a router switch and a modum in 1
i just can't get acces to my own server.

Is this in your config?
set net_ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
set net_port 28961 port to listen on

If it is, get rid of both lines.

Do you have access (probably web based) to your combo router/modem? You need to set up the proper ports inbound to your system. See the first post in this thread for a document on what you need to do.
