[cod] Linux Server not showing in Local game listing

[James Landi]

The only way to be listed on the ingame browser or say gamespy is to connect
back to the master server at Activision.  

 

If you block any communications back to this server you will not be listed,
like the old host file trick for warez copies (not saying your doing this).

 

Now you say your running on a private lan, If so do you have internet
access?

Is there any type of NAT being used? 

 Is your routing setup correctly?  

 

Can you give us some details of how your lan is setup between clients  and
to the internet

Hi all you Linux CoD gurus.  Here's a tough one for you....  I contacted
Activision about this bug, and was told to go to codadmin.com.  so I went to
codadmin.com and no one knew the answer.....

 

QUESTION:  Why does a Linux CoD server not appear in the "Local" server list
in the game when the server and gaming PC are both on the same subnet and
the server is started using the parameter "+set dedicated 1"?  There is no
firewall between the server and the gaming PC.  Both the server and the
client are running version 1.4.  The client CAN connect to the server by
pulling down the console and entering the command "/connect
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port#".

This problem was reported by another user and I verified the problem by
testing it.  If interested, see the discussion thread at the URL below
because it has tons more details including all the stuff we tried to get it
solved:
