Hi Brenda,
Thanks for the answer. I do actually have game.serverInternet set to 1
in my ServerSettings.con, and amusingly enough, that caused me some
issues out of the gate.
It feels like a firewall problem, sorta, since ASE is working but the
ingame browser is not (and they operate on different query ports). I
have the standard iptables ESTABLISHED/RELATED line at the end of the
chain. BF-specific rules look like this:
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p UDP --dport 14567 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p TCP --dport 4711 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p UDP --dport 4711 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p UDP --dport 14690 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p UDP --dport 23000:23009 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p UDP --dport 27900 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p TCP --dport 28900 -j ACCEPT
Does that look right? I JUST added that TCP port at the end, and zeroed
the game.gameSpyPort setting in ServerSettings.con.
