Server ip

xxxxxx · #1 07-22-2008, 09:56 AM

Hello,
I have a homemade windows cod4 server.
When i create it, nobody cant connect, I've done the port forwarding (28960,20810,20800) on my ruter and on my firewall.I can connect with 192.168.1.2:28960 ip adress but other players cant. Help me please

IPs that start with 192.168 are LAN IPs and won't work for other people.
You need to find out your external IP by visiting one of these sites:
My WAN IP
Detect My IP

Most people (like you and me) have a dynamic IP that changes every time you reconnect to the internet.

You can use a free service like DynDNS to be able to connect to your IP using an alternate adress like cod4server.game-host.org.
This works by using a small program on your PC which tells the DynDNS server that your IP has changed so that the alternate adress points to you again.

Anyone with help on setting up a server so my friends can connect at the same time as we do here at home would be greatly appreciated !!! It's getting crowded in here 12 systems no ROOM TO MOVE !!!

I borrow this thread since i got the same issue, with some exceptions.

I have a domain to make it easier connecting to the servers and services i use and note: Cod4 is the only server so far i got problems with.

UDP ports are forwarded (I've also tried with TCP, no difference), 28960, 20810, 20800.
A domain is set to perform easier connection.
Triple checked the server config for errors.
HLSW and ModernRcon v0.7 can find the server, but the game can't connect.
Firewall is off.

Shortcut config:

Code:

+set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg +map_rotate +set sv_punkbuster 1

Server config:

Code:

seta sv_punkbuster 1
wait
pb_sv_enable

set sv_hostname "Ohem's CoD4 Server" //Change this to whatever you want your server to be named in the server browser

// Server password
set g_password "" // blank means NO password

// Maximum Clients
set sv_maxclients "19"
set sv_privateclients "0"

// Max Ping
set sv_maxping "125"

// Rate
set sv_maxRate "25000"

// Map_rotation
set sv_mapRotation "gametype war map mp_backlot gametype war map mp_bloc gametype war map mp_bog gametype war map mp_cargoship gametype war map mp_citystreets gametype war map mp_convoy gametype war map mp_countdown gametype war map mp_crash gametype war map mp_crossfire gametype war map mp_farm gametype war map mp_overgrown gametype war map mp_pipeline gametype war map mp_showdown gametype war map mp_strike gametype war map mp_vacant"

set sv_maprotationcurrent ""

The router is a D-Link DIR-615 and works just fine since all other servers I've set up (Freelancer, Teamspeak, Web) works without a hitch.

Ohem, is that all your config is ? In you game shortcut & config there isnt anything that specifies your IP Address or Server Port ! This may be your problem...
