Sorry if this is a question that gets asked often, but I've now been trying to solve the sproblem for 8+ hours. I've googled, tried to search the list archive and tried just about every thing i can think of.
The problem is starting HLDS, (regular cstrike 1.6 install by steam) on a 2.6.10, freshly installed Debian 3.1 base. The hardware consists of Intel e1000, Xeon 2.8GHz 800MHz FSB and SATA-disks. When starting the hlds-binary, all the usual messages scroll by. The Security Module gets downloaded from speakeasy, it detects the correct (internal LAN) IP-address and everything seems OK. The config starts loading, but after the last log message from the configuration loading, everything grinds to a halt. According to strace, the process is still polling the UDP sockets (recvfrom), like it's waiting for a go ahead from the Auth-servers (since this is where Adding ... usually comes up). I've tried moving the computer to a direct internet connection, I've tried forwarding all ports that should be necessary according to websites (27015, 27030, 1200) (this is running behind another Linux-based gateway, running masquerading (and works like a charm with all other servers)). As the Security Module gets downloaded, it seems that both UDP and TCP is working perfectly to external sources, ssh and scp to and from the machine works flawlessly, and everything seems in order. tcpdump shows the UDP traffic between speakeasy and the box, but it does not show ANY other UDP packet leaving the computer or arriving. This is where things seems to become a bit fuzzy. I've been looking over UDP logs until almost falling heads down on the keyboard, and recompiling the kernel several times.. strace-logs at the size of a small hard disk has been analyzed, and obviously, the server is just standing there, waiting for UDP packets to arrive. When trying to connect to the server, the connection is refused, but the arrive to HLDS perfectly (strace gives a few recvfrom() that doesn't result in -1). iptables has no rules, and all default actions are set to ACCEPT. If anyone have any ideas, suggestions or any far out thought, please respond. If anyone want, I can provide tcpdump and strace-logs, or even shell access. -- Mats Lindh [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://e-mats.org/ - "Vi m� se oss om i trafikken" - Ragnar, tyskl�reren min i tre m�neder. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
