Connection Problems with GS
« on: July 05, 2006, 06:11:06 PM »
For the last 30 min or so I have been getting disconnected from GS over and over.

The mod isn't restarting because when I relog it remembers where I was standing in the Halls. However GodSpire is appearing in two different places in my history list alternately. It appears as one of these two IPs: 24.201.85.94:5121 and  24.201.85.94:60001

It seems to be switching ports every few minutes and that kicks me off the server.

I haven't been able to see GodSpire listed in Action for weeks now but I have been able to get into it through the history list.

My router seems to be restarting every 5 mins or so (this causes you to disconnect).  This only happens while the wireless radio is enabled.  Unfortunately I need it enabled.  I'm going to be working on fixing this damn problem.

About it not being listed in Action.  I have no clue why that is.  It's all very annoying.
My router must be to blame for that some how.

We've had this problem crop up recently with our server: ThrobbleServ Thread

Found the fix here:
Bioware Technical Forum

For some reason, freeing up just the NWN ports isn't good enough any more, you gotta free up the GameSpy ports now too. I think this is due to a recent change on the GameSpy server side.

Quote
These ports are all local ports which need to be allowed to send traffic both ways. Also, Bioware says that you only need to allow UDP, GameSpy say TCP. I say, with the number of ports you're opening, try just UDP first. If you still have issues, open the TCP as well on an port by port basis, according to the firewall warning log.

6667 (IRC)
3783 (Voice Chat Port)
27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat)
28900 (Master Server List Request)
29900 (GP Connection Manager)
29901 (GP Search Manager)
13139 (Custom UDP Pings) *A boatload of traffic hits this port.
6515 (Dplay UDP)

*Local Port 13139 is where every server pings your client before it lists.

We only had to free up UDP, didn't have to do the TCP.

Yeah, like I said, it is a new problem, we noticed it a couple weeks ago. The info posted last year fixed it.
