I had this same symptom when I was using a Watchguard firewall. The server port was stated 27017 on the command line and also when checked in the server console. The port was forwarded correctly in the firewall settings. However, every time the server was restarted it had a different port when viewed from outside the firewall. The console still reported the port as 27017 but it was always something different when viewed from outside the firewall. It would stay the same until the server was restarted. It was never 27017 when viewed from the outside. The server was on the master list when viewed from the outside and not seen from inside the firewall--This is normal. Sorry, I never resolved the issue. I ended up putting the server on a separate box outside the firewall. Of course, there was nothing on that unprotected box except operating sys and game server.

DHCP changes the IP address not the port. The port will remain at what ever you tell the server to run it at and DHCP can do nothing to change it. So if you use the default 27015 it will always be 27015. You just have to tell your firewall to forward that port to your games box. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Metallica Danzig Sent: Sunday, May 30, 2004 5:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds] floating port? Have a hlds 1.5 server running TFC. My problem is that th e port used is never 27015. The server is running behind a hardware firewall (d-link 604 router), but i have port 27015 forwarded to the server computer. I also have static dhcp setup. The port changes evertime i start another server. Do i need to get rid of dhcp all together? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!
