Actually, with Linksys oem firmware, your boxes will keep whatever IP address they are initially assigned, but you can't specify the address. When you reboot they keep the same IP address they had before. When Windows requests an IP from the DHCP server, it tells the server what IP address it would like, and it's up to the DHCP server to give it what it asks for. You can actually find this IP in the registry, and I've been able to change the IP the box gets at reboot by changing this value in the registry and rebooting. I'm not sure you will find this documented in any RFC, I discovered this through experimentation. It's very much dependant on the dhcp server in your router. I switched to Alchemy, and then Talisman so I could manually specify the ip/macid assignment.

I agree with the suggestion of the router change but with the standard firmware u can do what u need but u have to assign ur server the first ip address -- original message -- Subject: Re: [hlds] Server isn't being shown on master list? From: "OoksServer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 10th August 2005 2:07:44 pm Your problem is that you have not assigned static IP address to the macid of your nic in you server, so when there is a power loss or probably when you reboot and/or shut off the server, it comes back up with a different IP address. I'm not sure if your router will let you make static ip/macid assignments. D-Link routers are inherintely evil, and IIRC the reviews I read on their gaming router more or less decided that they were a waste of money. Chuck it in the trash, get a WRT54G, download Talisman firmeware from Sveasoft so you can make static IP/MACID assignments, and your router problems will be a thing of the past :-) BTW, you don't need to forward all of those ports. Most of them are ports at the remote, not ports on your end and forwarding them accomplishes nothing because they aren't used locally. ----- Original Message ----- From: "[DMA]RocketUSA" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 12:37 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] Server isn't being shown on master list?WOW! Most of this subject is Greek to me with what has been stated from everyone. I only have a problem with my server being shown on the list after a power failure or have to shut down my entire network, but, never have a problem fixing it. My setup: SURFboard4200 modem, D-Link DGL-4300 gaming router. Computers: Mine, Hers, and the server. (CS 1.6) When it doesn't show, I just go into the routers advanced settings under gaming and put in the servers new LAN IP. (the LAN IP's change when there's a total network shut-down) Of course all my ports are already there, and that's it. Once the router is rebooted it shows up. PORTS: TCP: 5273, 7002, 27020 - 27040 UDP: 1200, 1300, 27000 - 27015 I don't know if this will help you, but, this is my first post in here. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ook Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 1:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Server isn't being shown on master list? No, you misunderstand what I'm saying. Put modem in bridge mode. Run cat5 from modem to WRT54G (or equivalent). Setup WRT54G for PPPOE/A, or whatever your ISP requires, including your userid/password. The Zoom modem in bridge mode for all practical purposes becomes invisible. The WRT54G wan IP is the ip your ISP assigns you. It becomes your router, it has the dhcp server in it. All other devices on network work as they always have. It is as if you were using that as your modem. Use it's built in 4 port switch, or run cat5 to another hub/switch/wap, etc. It also has builtin wirelessb/g. The above scenario assumes your ISP supports running your modem in gateway mode, your modem actually does this, and you have a router of some sort that can handle the pppoe/a/etc from your ISP. Mine does, this is what I do, and it works very well. In the above example, bridge mode turns control of the network over to the WRT54G, which has a router and 4 port switch and dhcp server built in. This is a good thing. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
