[cod] Linux Server not showing in Local game listing

[Glanzer]

Well, making the Linux CoD Server run at port 28960 still didn't work.  The
server still doesn't show up in the Local listing on the client.

Any other suggestions?

--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
