When I clicked <<join game>> , my connection with internet was interrupted , I dont know why. I have primary cable which goes into router (Dlink 615) , and router adapter cable which goes into computers grid card.

Also ingame I selected Internet source.

And in another games like Quake 3 , Open Arena , I have same problem (with MasterServer and ServerBrowser)

May be I need to change some internet setting on My router? Firewall is OFF .

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

can you show me the value of your cl_master cvar ?

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

No problem , here it is

seta cl_master "master.rtcwcoop.com"

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

Ignore ipv6 warning since master is not using it so you don't need to bother with it..that's a protocol for the future that's more exception then a rule at the moment so nothing to worry about.

If you have the same problem over various game that only thing that they have in common is same port then my money is on either your firewall or antivirus blocking incoming/outgoing connection for that ports.

Can you specify what OS and/or antivirus/firewall are you using? smile

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

ok, Windows XP SP3 , NOD32 5.2.9.12 , Outpost Firewall Pro 7.6

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

it may sound like a dumb question, but are you sure that your firewall is not blocking anything, same for NOD32 ?

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

I turned OFF Firewall and NOD32 , and after that I launched the game = same result.

May be problem in some windows services or router settings? It happens only in this game.

Quake 3 Arena and Open Arena do not search any servers , serverlist is empty =[

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

Add a rule in your firewall server for incoming/outgoing connection.

Add "allow" rule for port: 27950 (udp not tcp..) in incoming and outgoing and see if it helps.

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

I tried it , and also I fully turned off my Firewall, it does not help.

I think it something in Router D-Link 615 settings...

DHCP WARNING: Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address XXXXX.

I saw this , when I came into Compurers Journal.

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

ignore warning. The easiest and fastest way to figure out what's the cause of it, is to eliminate problems one by one. You can start by removing router from equation...connect directly and see if it solves the problem, if it doesn't it's your system, in that case I can take a look at it if you wish thru teamviewer or smth.

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

It works perfectly without this fuckin router . The game finds servers well . Today I played in BOZZE server , very cool , but no people.

Is there any way to do Masterserver work well on router?

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

Open ports on router and you should be fine. Alternatively you can set it as DMZ (demilitarized zone) but note that in that case, you're open to web. Router protection is not a silver bullet but it does prevent some common scans.

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

Please help me with it. router model is DIR-615 D-Link

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

Thank you for help guys . I solved my problem by installing Latest version of Firmware Update 5.11Ru (Beta 2012). All works very cool.

Also , I recommend to use

rate 30000
cl_maxpackets 100

Re: Need Help with "Join game" and connection

Glad u solve it.

Also fyi, rate 30000 is useless. 25000 is the limit. smile
