I have several machines behind a double nat And they get steam auth fine But what im not too sure on a couple of points 1. is the hlds server and the client on the same network ? 2. Is the server in lan mode or inet mode (sv_lan 1/0 nomaster etc) Er.. yeah that's all It's very simple. The local IP of a Client is somehow encoded in the steam ID/Ticket. So the IP the client has on the server divers from what the Steam system outside will see. Ergo the Steam ID will be invalid. We have a similiar problem with our cs1.6 servers in a 2500 people dormitory in munich. Another admin wrote an User-space SNAT Proxy running on the server, the server will see the clients fake outside IP and the Steam Ticket is valid for the people now. Some time ago I read in the steam board this will be fixed soon, well a big steam update came along but no fix on this side :-/ I hope they do not forget this silly behaviour... cheers, Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frank Stollar Sent: Wednesday, 17 March 2004 6:16 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Multi-homed breaks steam?
