Ports issue with dedicated server

[Novastorm]

Hi everyone,

My friend ripcell and i have read numerous tutorials on setting up a UT2004 server, we have successfully set one up, and i can join it by using IP or our DNS name and specifying port 7777. Which is how its configured, however in the master list of servers we get a ping N/A and if i try to connect nothing happens. If i right click on the server and click open IP then it lists the IP followed by random port around the 3000 area. We have opened ports 7777-7778 UDP, 7787 UDP, 29802 TCP as said in your tutorial here on the site. My question is how can i make it so that the server list will give our server a port number of 7777 as is setup in the ut2004.ini that i generated with this sites generator?

Thanks in advance.

This is the "NAT bug". It has been discussed at length in these forums and others. Go to http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums...hreadid=234947 for a pretty exhaustive analysis.

Thanks for that info, i see its still an unresolved pain in the a$$ problem with NAT. Oh well, maybe we need to start up a petition to be sent to epic about fixing this problem
