[cod] 1.2a patch and connection timeout

[Cod Admin]

Same here... I was debugging on network to see why external users couldn't connect and internal could... It looks like the same prob like the old cod1 but now reversed...;-)

Ryan can you comment on this???

  Hey Ryan,
  
  I still have this connection timeout problem. Did you found something  already?
  It has something to do with restarting the server I think. I shutdown  the server while a couple of players were online. After the restart of  the server nobody could join anymore except me(I have a LAN connection  with the server). The next day players can join without a problem(I  didn't change anything).
  I hope this will help....
  
  Grtz,
  
  Harry

  Little braindump on my side... I can remember that in the old cod1  binary there was a problem with the packetsize on the network  connections.. I know i did mail a lot with you and others on this  list... At that time it was something with that i wasn't able to  connect to my server through i natted enviroment, and that it was  something with the heartbeat/auth key resolving.. Can you remember  this??? Maybe this problem is something like that... Or i'm i wrong????  Hope this gives you some help...;-)

I tried the /etc/hosts part and it worked for  me... But it  also can be a fluke of luck.. 
      
  Lets remove the /etc/hosts part and see if users can come in.... Yes  damn it is  working so no the /etc/hosts file is no solution...:-(

  I have the same problem. After playing a whole day without any  problems 
  suddenly players can't connect anymore...
  This is what I try to fix it:
  - restart COD2 server
  - reboot Linux server
  - disable firewall
  - disable/enable Punkbuster
  - /reconnect command in console
  Nothing, players still getting connection timeouts... I gave up... and 
  then... the next day players can connect again!?
        
  Ryan if you need more information let me know....
        
  Grtz,
