[cod] COD4 Linux noob

I think you should change the order of your command line
You had *+exec server.cfg* first, which will make it execute the server.cfg
first then ignore any other information equal as in the server.cfg.

try this order:
./cod4_lnxded* +set dedicated 2* *+set net_ip 209.242.12.190 +set net_port
38961* +set fs_basepath /home/msanborn/COD4 +set fs_homepath
/home/msanborn/COD4 +set fs_savepath /home/msanborn/COD4 +exec server2.cfg
+map_rotate
{the *dedicated* part should be the first if I am correct }


also on the linux box, try to see if you server is listening:
*                       netstat -anp*              {-a = any, n = nummeric,
p = display programnames}
you should see cod4_lnxed in the list (probably 2 times, a query port too)

When you connect from your client to the server, check the logs if you see
any error msg

if you don't have a serverlog, you could change your commandline into
./cod4_lnxded  +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 209.242.12.190 +set net_port
38961 +set fs_basepath /home/msanborn/COD4 +set fs_homepath
/home/msanborn/COD4 +set fs_savepath /home/msanborn/COD4 +exec server2.cfg
+map_rotate *2>cod4-server.log &*

            2>cod4-server.log  => means route all std err message to
cod4-server.log {this also prevents the annoying message scrolling on your
screen.
            1> somefile.txt      => means route all std out messages to
somefile.txt
            &    => means run this process in the background.

After you have attempted to connect with your cod4 client to your cod
server, type *cat cod4-server.log* in your linux console to display the log
file.
Check if you see your ip address, or maybe even your user id.
If you do not see any thing comming in, then you should check you routing,
firewall, maybe portforwarding . . that kind of stuff..

Hope this helps you a bit further,

Lambik
