You're not accidentally doing anything like not letting udp packets *out* through the firewall, are you? Perhaps on the LAN link, since obviously the WAN link appears to be set to allow everything (provided there aren't any other rules accidentally treading on it).
I guess my question for you; are there any keep-state rules on the traffic coming in, that make the other services you listed off work correctly, but would prevent hlds from initiating a connection out? Again, I imagine they would have to be on the LAN link.. but if you're like me, you simply have a rule on the lan link to pass everything. -Joe On Dec 18, 2008, at 1:26 PM, Simon Marchi wrote: > The server has a WAN IP, but has his traffic filtered by the openbsd > box. > Since it is not a nat configuration, there is no need to redirect the > packets, just allow them to pass. > > I would like to add that all the other services installed work fine : > apache, ftp, postfix, etc, which really points to something like a bad > network configuration directly on the server that hlds doesn't like... > > Thanks for your help! > > On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 10:41 AM, kama <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> >> On Thu, 18 Dec 2008, Simon Marchi wrote: >> >>> # userid name uniqueid connected ping loss state adr >>> Could not establish connection to Steam servers. >>> >>> Everything looks fine, except for the network connections.
