[cod] COD2 Linux Server Help Needed :)

Fri Mar 10 20:11:40 EST 2006

You mean add a line in hosts like this?  88.208.200.17.va-world.com?  The
only thing I am thinking here is if I do that and it doesnt work then I
could lock myself out of the server but not sure so i'm not gonna try.  Im
sure the problem must lay somewhere else.

Maybe someone else that has a working hosted linux server could tell me what
is in there hosts file?  Or maybe someone might spot something wrong with
the output I get.

Cheers
Mike

(Off to bed now to grow my hair back, please feel free to reply to this with
any more help)

Ah sorry, will teach me for skipping in not reading all, I'm guessing that
IP isn't configured on your actual machine and just on the router? In which
case possibly ignore what I suggested (you can still try it (wan ip then
hostname in hosts file before the other, nothing lost, just I'm possibly
barking up the wrong tree as I've never set up a server with separate
forwarding, and others can advise better). Basically don't want to throw a
red herring out from my lack of reading, but try all :0.

Hi Ian,

My hosts file contains this:-

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1/>   localhost.va-world.com
<http://localhost.va-world.com/>  localhost localhost.localdomain localhost

My hosts.allow file contains this:-

#
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
#  allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
#  by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. 
#

I guess when you say "the other IP" you mean the   <http://88.208.200.17/>
88.208.200.17 IP? if so how do I find out if it is "available" locally to
the machine?  Im guessing that it is though because I have a teamspeak voice
comms server 
running on that IP and it works fine.

I have 2 IP's for the root server and I have tried using both (200.18 is the
other IP but 200.17 is the primary).

May well be off the beaten track with this, just something I've seen before
on the Q3 engine which is similar. What do you have in /etc/hosts. Just I've
seen it before where you specify the IP, but it sends what it finds as the
domain name in /etc/hosts. As I said, probably wrong, but might be worth a
quick shot. Just wondering if the localhost bit is still throwing it off, is
the other IP "available" propely locally to that machine?
