There is something weird going on with the dedicated servers I put up behind my m0n0wall. When I put up a Counter-Strike Source server running on port 27015, the server comes up in Valve's Steam master listing as running on port 9895. If I increment the local port by 1 to 27016, the master lists an incremented port also at 9896. I found out this info by querying the master server with QStat (http://www.qstat.org - looks to be down now though) using the following command from linux on another network: qstat -stma2s,game=cstrike,region=0,status=dedicated 68.142.72.250:27011 |grep 71.251.230.34 Result: A2S 71.251.230.34:9895 no response In the query above, 71.251.230.34 is my WAN IP and you see the server being listed with the weird 9895 port. When I forward port 27015 in my router, clients can connect by going to 71.251.230.34:27015. But if I want clients to connect from the server browser list, my server shows up as 71.251.230.34:9895 so I have to forward WAN port 9895 to the LAN port 27015 to let them in. This issue happens with both the old hlds and newer source dedicated servers. My server's OS is Win2k3, and no software firewalls are installed. All of my other port forwards are working properly - SSH, HTTP, FTP, etc. What is causing the master server to list me at this obscure port? Is this an issue on Valve's end or a problem with my packets going out the door through m0n0wall? Any help you guys have to offer will be much appreciated. Jon |
