<DIV><FONT size=2>You cant join a server from the LAN side of a NAT'ed server
with authentication / master reporting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>This is due to the fact that the master will try to auth the
client on its non NAT'ed address and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>since this is not contactable you get the time out you
describe.The solution to this would be</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>for them to add a NAT'ed config option to the client and when
the server requested auth of</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the client for it to supply these details.</FONT></DIV>

and lan connection</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi there all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a simple question. I have a Mohaa
Breaktrough server running on my linux box, this server is showing up in
gamespy ASE and in the game.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now i want to run a COD server on the same
machine, after i put it up and try to connect from my lan machine to the
server i get awaiting cd key authorization. I read on <A
href="http://www.codadmin.com">www.codadmin.com</A> that you have to put a
redirect in your host file like
this<BR>10.5.1.2
codauthorize.activision.com</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After i did this it worked like a charm but i am
not showing up in either ASE or Gamespy or inside the game. Now i read on this
forum that when you block this Actvision is blocking you on gamespy etc. So i
removed it and i can see that i get more connections now in my
logfile</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And it goes on and on. When i put the block again
i only see this 1 or 2 times in 15 minutes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also see that the logfile is saying
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sending getIpAuthorize for
10.5.1.123:28960</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I understand that this won't work becuase this is
a private range and Activision can't registrate my CDKEY.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><BR>So now my problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If i put in the block a can play on my server from the lan, if i remove
it i see the CD KEY string.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please can anybody help me with this?????</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards</DIV>
