Problem: Cannot Join Server
« on: June 13, 2006, 07:34:56 pm »
G'day.
           I am having a problem trying to join my soldat server. I have forwarded the correct ports on my router and i have disabled my norton firewall(temporarily, until i figure out how to configure it) and still people cannot join my server!

I have read the sticky,(very helpful thanks) and other topics and my server appears on http://selfkill.com:130703/. but for some reason my current map doesnt show up and ? ? ? appears under the ping column in the soldat lobby. ARHHH! >:(

Here is my router virtual server config:  (i am using a Belkin 4 port router)

Description       Inbound port       type         private ip address            private port

Soldat1            23073 - 23083     UDP          192.168.2.44                   23073 - 23083

Soldat2            23073 - 23083     TCP          192.168.2.44                    23073 - 23083

I do not know what i am doing wrong! Maybe my ISP doesnt allow servers or something?
Also there is a thing called "DMZ" on my router, im not sure what it is, but it says something about games/application interfering with a "NAT" firewall.

I am using Soldat Dedicated Server 2.5.0.

Please, if people could offer suggestions/advice/a solution that would be awesome, thanks!

DMZ = Demilitarized Zone

Any network IP put in the DMZ will not be protected by your routers Firewall/NAT, basically whatever computer IP you put in here will have all ports from 1-65535 TCP & UDP open.

Just note that DMZ can be risky if you're on windows without all of the latest updates from www.windowsupdate.com

When you have a computer in the DMZ, anyone outside can attack your computer if you have any security holes since it opens all of the ports, not just the 2 needed for soldat.  I would suggest finding out what is wrong rather than trying to use DMZ

What model router do you have?

G'day,
           ive got a Belkin 4-Port Cable/DSL Gateway Router   F5D5231au4.
           It's strange, im pretty sure i have opened the right ports, but the server still does not work.
