Ok. I am positive this never worked and external clients were timing out and it appeared they were trying to connect to a private IP address. I will try it again this week and do some captures if it goes wrong. Maybe the new HLDS will behave differently.
Thanks a lot for your advice though. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Gilbert, Doug Sent: Monday, October 15, 2001 11:38 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [hlds] workaround for HLDS Firewall / IP issue - any suggestions appreciated I tried the +IP command and it didn't seem to work. Said it couldn't bind to the port of that IP (and why should it, it doesn't own that IP). I use NAT to do the translation and it works just fine. It shows in the master list with my external IP address (216.0.63.111) , but if I type IP into the console it shows (10.1.1.65). I also connect myself to the internal IP Address. Look through your logs and make sure that your translation is working. Or goto a website that will show you what your IP Address is and make sure it is correct Doug Gilbert Manager Server Systems Direct - (770) 308-5535 Cell - (678) 644-8361 -----Original Message----- From: Alex Lane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 15, 2001 9:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlds] workaround for HLDS Firewall / IP issue - any suggestions appreciated Ok I think I am doing that and it allows people to connect to the server on a port or range of ports but the server still starts and sees that the physical connection on the HLDS is say 172.16.0.19 and it will publish that IP address to the master list, not the public IP address of 144.23.x.x. The +ip argument promises to do this as far as I interpret the documentation but it turned out that the +ip command will not blindly publish whatever IP address you specify but it will only publish an IP that is physically on the HLDS machine. This is a security feature documented in a paper written by Yahn Bernier sometime ago. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Gilbert, Doug Sent: Monday, October 15, 2001 11:15 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [hlds] workaround for HLDS Firewall / IP issue - any suggestions appreciated You don't need to use the +IP command. On your firewall you need to have a NAT translation setup to translate the internal address to the external address.
