RE: About server settings
Apparently, it isn't just a server settings problem.

Quote:DuTcHR3B3L5 : okay. yesterday i found 2 servers but none of them repond. how?
Victor : DuTcHR3B3L5, those servers didn't port-forward correctly, and the master-server can't check
Victor : Since the master-server can't check, the master-server just registers them anyway
asmanel : do you know what prevent a correct port-forward ?
Victor : Most routers block unknown incoming packets because they don't know where to send them. That's why you have to port-forward to a specific computer.
asmanel : In this case, why the client work properly from normal computers ?
kingpep : Does anyone play this game???
Victor : asmanel, what do you mean?
asmanel : theorically, the communications client-server (game server or master server) and the server-server are nothing more than communications between two program on two different computers
asmanel : If there are network securities or problems that prevent clients from using connecting to distant server, the fact servers from same computer don't work sound logic
asmanel : but if the client work properly, there are no reason the server program doesn't work properly from the same machine, unless abnormally exotic paccket are used.
Victor : No, if you are the client, you make outgoing requests and the router's NAT can handle the replies.
Victor : If you are the server, you listen on a port, but you need the router to route the packets to you
Victor : Just research [ network address translation ] in a search engine.
asmanel : I understand better the problem now.
