right, some precisions :
yes, obviously, linux kernel doesn't seem to pass hl lan browser broadcast
packets to hlds when it's bound to a particular interface ("+ip local_ip").
*but* the all-seeing-eye (and its "find lan servers" tool) actually displays
ip-specified lan servers.
...
omg, i've just realized a stupid thing 8-)
the all-seeing-eye had cached my lan servers...
...so it didn't find my ip-specified one, but remembered it
lol
so know i can go back to my first feeling... that is yours, nathan.
i thought exactly what you said (windows forwarding broadcast packets, and
linux not), then was very disappointed about the all-seeing-eye "finding"
(displaying) my lan server.
sorry samuli if it wasn't clear ; just use the upd forwarder nathan
mentioned (i was using such a tool, half-life specific, before valve adds
multi-port server discovery to its lan browser).
