Mysterious connection problem?

[Thanil Bernetar]

Hi Folks!

I have the following connection problem. I have installed the beta1.2 of 
the Linux dedicated server to my machine (Athlon 700, 384 MB RAM, SuSE 
Linux 8.0, SuSEfirewall2 running) and I successfully started the server, 
BUT I can not connect with my "Battlefield 1942" Client (Version 1.2). I 
have edited the ServerSettings.con as described on this list. This is an 
extract of the console messages:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STREAM_DEBUG: NumTemplates loaded 3168 check sum is 186
FORMAT_WARNING: Server is up and running
STREAM_WARNING: Couldn't open console script 
"mods/BF1942/Settings/ServerAutoexec.con"

STREAM_DEBUG: Adding backend service:

STREAM_WARNING: CD-Key authcallback successful for SERVER

STREAM_LOG:

And this is my ServerSettings.con:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
game.serverName "BF-Server"
game.serverDedicated 1
game.serverGamePlayMode GPM_CQ
game.serverGameTime 30

game.serverPassword "hidden"

game.setServerSoldierFriendlyFireOnSplash 100
game.setServerVehicleFriendlyFireOnSplash 100
game.setServerIP 0.0.0.0
game.setServerPort 14567
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see everything should be just perfect, but I can't find the game 
with my BF client (WinXP). The server doesn't appear in the list of LAN 
games and I can't connect to my server via the internet tab. I tried 
numerous internet addresses (LAN-address, WAN-address, 0.0.0.0) and ports 
(14567, 22000).

What's wrong?

I have applied the following patches:
bf1942-lnxded-betaupdate-build-1039730142.tar.bz2
bf1942-lnxded-betaupdate-build-1039933525.tar.bz2
bf1942-lnxded-betaupdate-build-1040194295.tar.bz2
bf1942-lnxded-betaupdate-build-1040442243.tar.bz2
bf1942-lnxded-betaupdate-build-1040889129.tar.bz2
bf1942-lnxded-betaupdate-build-1041834125.tar.bz2
