As told i know about the router/NAT-problem, also how to fix it with my linux-router. What i want to know: are my thoughts right or does it only look like it works this way? Again, someone told me: it works if you change the IP of the server (normally a LAN-IP) to the online-ip (at the server-console with ip XXX...) while it is running. Just didn't try for myself. But i know if you try to pass a ip with the commandline (+ip ...) you get a errormessage if you use a ip that isn't located at the server. And yes, you can change the value of the variable "ip" in the server-console with ip "new_ip". Damn, i should improve my english :) But now i got the question: How does the won/masterserver get the port? Is the "sending-port" used (which is after NAT not the port the server is listening)? Juergen btw, there is also a thread at the forums @server.counter-strike.net: http://server.counter-strike.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22851 _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
