GREETINGS!
Here is my problem. I run a CE dedi server on my LAN server. It's a 2ghz 1gigDDR running Win2k over a home cable connection.
My problem is that as of a couple days ago whenever I reload the server Gamespy seems to want clients to connect on a new random port. By random I mean that the first time it was port 1442, then 10328, and now I dunno cause I need someone to try a log in and tell me the port it's trying to connect to. Anyway, I get a friend to try a log in and tell me the port then I have to forward that port through my router and even add -port xxxxx to the server startup for anyone to be able to connect.
As I am sure you are aware this is a PIA... Anyone have a similar prob or any ideas for fixing it? I've tried what I know, now I need some help.
As an FYI, LAN connections still connect on 2302 and 2303 just fine when I use the default ports, you just can't get in from the in game server list. I also have 2302 and 2303 forwarded firewalls all set up to let client connections through.
