[mohaa] gamespy nightmare!

[Salsich, Luke]

ok. I ran tcpdump on the major ports related to mohaa and Spearhead and
believe I have at least identified the problem. The Gamespy 'heartbeat'
port (which is responsible for listing the server) is 27900. On the
server that wont show in Gamespy there is no tcp activity on port 27900.
On an identical game server I run that DOES show up in Gamespy there is
periodic (every minute or so) activity on tcp port 27900 - which is
exactly what I would expect from the heartbeat port.

So.....I think this Gamespy heartbeat is initiated from my server with
the cvar 'set sv_gamespy 1', right? Well, its definitely in the .cfg
file. Any thoughts?

Have you check if there is any traffic going in gamespys direction ?
ie. running tcpdump port <whatever post mohaa uses> to check if there is
any traffic at all. That way you atleast find out if its the
mohaainstallation
or a networking problem.
