A question who is them??? i own my own server this server is also my firewall and nat translator. And what do you mean by NAT'ed config option on the client??? Don't you mean my iptables rules???

  You cant join a server from the LAN side of a NAT'ed server with authentication / master reporting.
  This is due to the fact that the master will try to auth the client on its non NAT'ed address and
  since this is not contactable you get the time out you describe.The solution to this would be
  for them to add a NAT'ed config option to the client and when the server requested auth of
  the client for it to supply these details.

    Hi there all,

    I have a simple question. I have a Mohaa Breaktrough server running on my linux box, this server is showing up in gamespy ASE and in the game.

    Now i want to run a COD server on the same machine, after i put it up and try to connect from my lan machine to the server i get awaiting cd key authorization. I read on www.codadmin.com that you have to put a redirect in your host file like this
    10.5.1.2               codauthorize.activision.com

    After i did this it worked like a charm but i am not showing up in either ASE or Gamespy or inside the game. Now i read on this forum that when you block this Actvision is blocking you on gamespy etc. So i removed it and i can see that i get more connections now in my logfile

    SV packet 212.4.59.227:28960 : getinfo
    SV packet 217.187.228.176:28960 : getinfo
    SV packet 66.171.20.41:28960 : getinfo
    SV packet 81.50.168.236:28960 : getinfo
    SV packet 213.7.84.188:28960 : getinfo
    SV packet 80.130.183.223:28960 : getinfo
    SV packet 62.15.142.49:6956 : getinfo
    SV packet 62.181.213.155:28960 : getinfo
    SV packet 194.255.159.186:-496 : getinfo
    SV packet 67.163.174.179:28960 : getinfo
    SV packet 80.142.139.40:14529 : getinfo
    SV packet 213.89.220.43:-1909 : getinfo
    SV packet 80.135.182.47:28960 : getinfo
    SV packet 81.189.29.89:28960 : getinfo

    And it goes on and on. When i put the block again i only see this 1 or 2 times in 15 minutes.

    I also see that the logfile is saying 

    sending getIpAuthorize for 10.5.1.123:28960

    I understand that this won't work becuase this is a private range and Activision can't registrate my CDKEY.


    So now my problem.

    If i put in the block a can play on my server from the lan, if i remove it i see the CD KEY string.

    Please can anybody help me with this?????

    Regards
    Quint
