[cod] Authentication

[James Landi]

If your running CoD via the CoDMP.exe shortcut, as a dedicated server with
"+set dedicated 2" switch then your not using your CDkey.  If your running a
listening server( full GUI ) then yes, your key is being used.  If you are
running it as a dedicated server, then all the rules about ports and NAT
come into effect. 
Forward and open ports 20510,20500 and 28960

Subject: [cod] Authentication

I have a cod server running on a windows machine, the server is using my
cdkey. When the server is running it takes me upto 60 tries to get into the
server, but it finally lets me in. Also it does the samething when I try to
join other servers while my server is running. I think this has something to
do with authentication, but if the server is already using the cdkey then
shouldn't it say my cdkey is already in use, and not let me join?

P.S. I don't have this issue when I run the server in linux.

Thanks for any help in advance, if you need specs, etc. Let me know.

Best Regards,
Matt
