My dedicated server doesn't list in internett servers ingame

krt16 · #1 09-26-2008, 10:52 AM

I started a server from the start new server button in game
I Launched a config file found here at the forums
When I did that the console comes up saying
set sv_punkbuster 1
sv_punkbuster is read only
set sv_cheats 0
sv_cheats is writeprotected

And the server shows up as a local server when I look for it

What do I do?

- krt16 -

My config file is:
seta sv_punkbuster 1
wait
pb_sv_enable

// Server name
set sv_hostname "My 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

// Rconpassword
set rcon_password "change_me" // Change this to your rcon password!

// Maximum Clients
set sv_maxclients "32"
set sv_privateclients "6"

// Max Ping
set sv_maxping "225"

// 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 ""

This are the relevant settings for your server to show up in the server list:

Code:

// Server Network Mode
set dedicated "2"                 // 0 = Listen, 1 = LAN, 2 = Internet

// Master servers
set sv_master1 "cod4master.activision.com"
set sv_master2 "cod4authorize.activision.com"
set sv_master3 "cod4master.infinityward.com"
set sv_master3 "cod4update.activision.com"
set sv_master4 "master.gamespy.com:28960"
set sv_master5 "master0.gamespy.com"
set sv_master6 "master1.gamespy.com"
set sv_master7 "clanservers.net"
set sv_gamespy "1"

Furthermore, make sure that you opened the right ports in your firewall and router (default is 28960).

Ty...
It now shows up in the internett list, but nobody can join it...
And sometimes (random or when someone tryes to connect) I get an error saying: Error: NET_GetPacket: WSAENETRESET about 30-40 times in the console and the connection times out

what now? :P

The Microsoft knowledge base says this:

Quote:

NET_GetPacket: WSAENETRESET
The connection has been broken due to keep-alive activity detecting a failure while the operation was in progress.

I do not really know what actually causes the problem. It could be faulty hardware or software or something like that.

ok...
I got it to disappear now (somehow), but my friends cant join... they just get connection timed out

No answers? :O :P
I still havent got it to work =_=". Closest to success is that I have got it to display in the internett server list.

Also Im now using the server config that [RTG] schosch provided. That worked once, but not anymore :S

from what ive read 28960 is not the only port you need to open up.
you also need to forward 20800 and 20810 udp and tcp.

I have a slightly different problem... I can connect via the console but my server doesnt show up on the master list.

tried:
forwarding ports 28960 and 20800-20810 tcp and udp
adding Schosch's settings to my cfg
waiting 30 minutes before refreshing the list

My shortcut tags are:
+set dedicated 2 +set net_port 28960 +set sv_punkbuster 0 +exec bare.cfg +map_rotate
(adding "+set net_ip" just makes it disappear from my local list)

my cfg file:

Code:

seta sv_punkbuster "0"
wait
pb_sv_enable

// Server name
set sv_hostname "aaa Scarletomato" //Change this to whatever you want your server to be named in the server browser

//===============================================================================
// Public Information  - OPTIONAL
//===============================================================================
sets _Admin         ""
sets _Email         ""
sets _Website      ""
sets _Location      ""
set scr_motd      ""

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

// Rconpassword
set rcon_password "admin" // Change this to your rcon password!

//Network
set net_ip "(my external ip)" // Set your servers IP address
set net_port "28960" // Set your port number

// Server Network Mode
set dedicated "2"                 // 0 = Listen, 1 = LAN, 2 = Internet

// Master servers
set sv_master1 "cod4master.activision.com"
set sv_master2 "cod4authorize.activision.com"
set sv_master3 "cod4master.infinityward.com"
set sv_master3 "cod4update.activision.com"
set sv_master4 "master.gamespy.com:28960"
set sv_master5 "master0.gamespy.com"
set sv_master6 "master1.gamespy.com"
set sv_master7 "clanservers.net"
set sv_gamespy "1"

// Maximum Clients
set sv_maxclients "32"
set sv_privateclients "6"

// Max Ping
set sv_maxping "250"

// Rate
set sv_maxRate "25000"

//set Game Type
set g_gametype "dm"

any theories?

okey I want to make my server a private one...
so I got a patched exe file from *************.com
When I start it up then I get
Resolving adress: FrozenKiller.RuLeZ.com
Couldn't resolve address: FrozenKiller.RuLeZ.com

Whats wrong now?
I have also opened the ports mentioned by ScarleTomato

I think we should start from scratch and backup the config's you have so far, from the sounds of it im sure you would prefer if it was public too, and until its functioning properly i wouldn't think of converting it.

There are a few items in my problem post which might help too...
COD4 - Windows Server - "awaiting key code authorization" from Internal clients!!!

looking at your config file you have not added an IP, and you might have more luck on the public side of things if you would also like to connect via lan as well switching to dedicated = 1!!

Then once you have configured it use the audit tool found at the bottom of my problem page, then once we have made it that far and know everything is working correctly, take a complete copy of the entire folder and place it in a backup folder somewhere.

Then if you like we can patch it and work through any issues knowing that everything so far is correct.

Let us know how you are getting on...

The reason I dont set my IP in that config is that I set it in the shortcut to the game, ("shortcut to game" +set net_ip ***.***.*.* +set net_port 28960

Ill try your config now...
Thanks for the answer, hoping to get it working now
