I'm guessing this happens when you try to connect the servers local LAN IP,
ie. 192.168.x.x IP?

If so that's why. You can't have a Internet enabled server and LAN clients.
As you have already noticed if you connect via Internet IP (your public IP)
you can connect.

It's LAN  or Internet not both.

Subject: [cod] Awaiting key code authorization error on LAN

Hi all,

I'm trying to run a CoD4 v1.4 Linux Dedicated server.  I can connect to it
via the public internet, but am unable to connect to it via the LAN.  When
trying to connect to the server from a local machine I get the message
"Awaiting Connection...." in white letters at the top, and "Awaiting key
code authorization" in yellow letters near the bottom.

I can connect to other internet servers fine, and as I said before, I can
connect to my server only if I'm on the public internet.  My server is
behind a router with UDP ports 20800, 20810, and 28960 all forwarded to the
correct machine.  (it seems that port forwarding is not the issue, since I
can connect via the outside, it's on the LAN that I cannot connect.)

I've tried disabling all port forwarding on the router, and starting the
server with '+set dedicated 1' to play ONLY on the LAN with no success.
I've tried fiddling with the net_ip settings in the config file, and the
command line also to no avail.

Anyone else see this issue occurring?  Anyone know how to fix?

-Rick
