My Servers are running on real ips. And they see the real public ip you 
want the log again? It was in my first mail.

So the ClientIP dont say the  AuthServer what ip he use the authserver 
is seen by the ip he comes into the AuthServer right?

If it works that way then you are right it should work but well it dont do.

So with you information i think again whats going on.

It was visible that the server tryed to auth the external address from me.
141.30.225.46.

But know i know what the problem is ;-)
I wrote that i have 2 external connections so well i dont use the same 
connection for the auth servers. The auth servers see an other ip.

I changed the router in a way that same external device is used for auth 
servers and game servers. I think that worth an faq ;-)
And it works. Thats for your information how auth works so i was able to 
fix it.

Can you tell me the hole ip range of all cod auth servers?
im using 63.146.124.0/24 now.

Thx for your help.
