problem here, but there was no strait answer to solve it. Now i tried by
Activision to see if they had a solution for this problem, but see below still
no luck. I'm getting desperate, is there a programmer here that worked on the
linux binary??? And is it possible (if he is here) to discus this with
me???</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>

<TD class=smtext colSpan=2><FONT color=#ff0000>Dear Anthony,<BR><BR>Sorry
for the late response, but I was in deep debug to give you more
information.<BR><BR>You said go to
<BR><BR>www.codadmin.com<BR>www.callofduty.org<BR>www.codfiles.co<BR><BR>I
did already before I mailed you, also I am an active user in icculus.org
this group made also Mohaa linux. All the groups I talked to gave me some
hints, I tried out. Here my debug information below. I hope you can answer
these questions.<BR><BR><BR>I am sending you a picture of my network at
home. A little background of my knowledge, I am a network/security
advisor, and work at a large bank community in the
Netherlands.<BR><BR>Here my debug information.<BR><BR>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 www.codadmin.com that you have to put a redirect
in your host file like this<BR>10.5.1.2
codauthorize.activision.com<BR><BR>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<BR><BR>SV packet 212.4.59.227:28960 : getinfo<BR>SV packet
217.187.228.176:28960 : getinfo<BR>SV packet 66.171.20.41:28960 :

block again i only see this 1 or 2 times in 15 minutes.<BR><BR>I also see
that the logfile is saying <BR><BR>sending getIpAuthorize for
10.5.1.123:28960<BR><BR>I understand that this won't work becuase this is
a private range and Activision can't registrate my CDKEY.<BR><BR><BR>Now I
tried after you told me not to support the linux server a windows server
in the same network setup, but this gives me the same result.<BR><BR>What
I did then was put the linux environment back and to a tcpdump on my
network to see how the packets are send etc.<BR><BR>I saw in the packets
that my translation doesn’t work to my external address this way both
servers are trying to AUTH my internal address.<BR><BR>I tried the to see
if I could make a loop to my external address, tried proxy port forward
etc. etc. but no luck still (because my ip isn’t NAT) it is trying to AUTH
my internal ip. This due to that my server is seeing that the external ip
is local on my server and isn’t putting it to NAT.<BR><BR>I mailed this to
icculus.org but nobody knows a solution. In my eyes this is coming due to
the fact that the server is resolving my ip sends it to the AUTH server
this one Is trying to connect to my client to try to AUTH my
CD-KEY.<BR><BR>Can’t this changed from this one to server is giving me a
push to Activision AUTH server where I registrate my CD-Key and when this
is done the AUTH server is giving the COD servers an ok.<BR><BR>Please
help me, I’m now more debugging then enjoying the
game…:-(<BR><BR>Regards<BR>Quint</FONT></TD></TR>

<TD class=smtext colSpan=2><FONT color=#ff0000>Dear Reader,<BR><BR>I have
a question about a COD server and NAT. I have a dedicated COD server
running on a linux enviroment, but when a connect from inside my lan to
the linux box i see in the log file that my cd-key is tried to be
registered with my internal LAN network adress. I talked to a lot of guys
in mailing groups like www.codadmin.com etc. but these guys say it is not
possile to connect to the server like this. I have also a mohaa server
running and this one works. The guys in the mailing group are saying that
the client should be patched, is this true or do you know how to help
me.<BR><BR>Regards<BR>Quint</FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></DIV>
