Hell...o Luke

I have about 35 CoD 1.2 and We just changed of IP and none of our server are
showing into ASE !!! (IP range: 62.93.232.67-86 ports: 28960,70,80,90
depending on IP)

I tryed to let down for 30 mins one server, config_mp.cfg is empty and chmod
400 into the base and homepath and rebooted the server... nothing work...
Seem it is a general issue and it happend "randomly"... 
I hope this will be fixed very fast or a real solution will be available (no
guessing and no "try that" because I don't have time for do "possible"
thing on every server) because people want theyr server full and without
listing into game browser (gamespy, ase or other) they stay empty... 

I deleted all CoD server into ASE and di a refresh... had about 1800 server
before... now have only 460 ! And lot of server that was pinging before
have vanished... I thought it was a minor probleme before because I saw lot
of server into ASE but it was only "cached" server... 

So I think it is a major problem for all of us that run servers and makes
your game life by let people play with it online... people that buy your
game and want to fight on full servers... Hope you will release a fix very
very soon...
