Yep. This question comes up all the time; I remember having the same problem running Quake1 servers back in the day and thinking 'WTF is going on' :) Just thought I'd spell it out as concisely as possible for everyone else who's reading. Its a pretty common problem for LAN organisers (running multiple servers under linux using IP aliasing) so sooner or late most of us are going to either run into it or be asked about it by someone else. > 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). Multiple ports is bad mojo to my mind (Valve's browser may work, but others wont) but each to their own Regards Nathan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
