SOLVED:connection issues, Nat and other.

[Ze_PilOt]

Hmmm.. Quick look at the code, it won't be easy if it's really the issue here...

The "accepting" and "sending" commands are the same. I can't know the ping between two clients...

And of course, FA doesn't send a info to the server when a player is finally connected... grrrr...

[Ze_PilOt]

Ok, I did some fixes server-side, can you try it again ?

[jhvisto]

still same

Ok, no more messages that shouldn't be there, so now I can say that it's really a router problem.

[jhvisto]

that would be a problem, there's nothing anymore that i can do, router without NAT doesn't connect to lobby, without nat upnp should work, but does lobby use that? i do not want to make router work as bridge mode, 'cause i have 7 pc:s in same intranet, and that would require one machine to work as router. mayby i look in to that to see is that only router problem or my pc.

[thygrrr]

You defnitely have NAT, but what you need is Port Forwarding (sometimes called "Virtual Server")

I'll look into UPnP but I don't think I can support that any time soon.

[jhvisto]

first, dmz was not possible with zyxel 660hw-d1 modem, so i needed to do more dramatic solution that allows udp packets out, that was problem, everything comed right in, but not out.

Solution:

Turn one computer to router, dhcp server. <- smoothwall 3.0.
After many hours configurating and reinstalling it, finaly, it worked. First i wasn't able to join games, but i was able to host a game with other players, after more configurating finaly i was able to join!!!
now my wondersystem is like this:

[Ze_PilOt]

You should definitively add all that in the wiki !

[jhvisto]

you mean changing entire homenet to this kind?

[thygrrr]

Still seems like you had the firewall on your router on, which is NOT NECESSARY unless you are afraid of an internal attacker sending data out of your network (who could just send stolen data all out via HTTP on port 80 anyway...)

But good that it works for you now. Pretty overkill, if you ask me, but I've seen stranger things.
