[cod] Linux Server not showing in Local game listing

[Glanzer]

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.  Here's some responses to your feedback:

--Rudedog:  This is a LAN server (dedicated 1, not dedicated 2) so the server doesn't even send a heartbeat to Activision.  As I mentioned, the server and gaming PC are both on the same subnet.  So no access to Activision should be needed.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

--Idzard:  Filters are wide open on the client, so that's not the problem.  But thanks for the suggestion.

--Hyperion:  Ah, you may have the answer.  I think I was running on port 28961 not 28960.  I didn't know it had to run on the default port, but that makes sense.  I guess if any port was allowed, the client PC would have to scan not only the entire subnet IPs looking for servers, but also scan every port on every IP!  Makes perfect sense.  I'll have to run the test again.  If that's the answer then you win the big star.  :-)

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:
