[bf1942] Internet Server mischief

[Miroslav Nikolov]

So,
i run the server without any errors ... i get this with netstat -nap :

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign 
Address         State       PID/Program name

udp        0      0 
x4.12.243.5:23000      0.0.0.0:*                           27111/bf1942_lnxded
udp        0      0 
x4.12.243.5:14567      0.0.0.0:*                           27111/bf1942_lnxded

and after some effortds i hardtype x4.12.243.5:23000 on a comuter running 
the HLSW tool wich is over a router away from
the bf server and i got the status of the server ...
on my computer wich is in a same subnet /lan/ with the bf server i scan 
useing HLSW and i get x4.12.243.5:22000 ... the same
status...
so i think it`s ok and i go to the computer in the other subnet and run bf 
and try to connect to the server ...
guess what ... NOPE,
so i dicide to run tcpdump  to see what`s going in/out ... the strange 
thing is that tcpdump shows that the BF client sends udp
packets to x4.12.243.5:0 .. to the zero port /udp/.... strange huh..
i try to ADD SERVE in the INTERNET Multyplayer tab with ip:14567 ip:22000 
ip:23000 but nope... cannot connect
.. this is my serversettings.con
