ASSS Questions - My zone is green only in LAN.

Post subject: My zone is green only in LAN.

I have an ASSS server and i can connect to my zone only with ip address set to 127.0.0.1. That doesn't work with the ip, that is given in http://whatismyip.org/

I have had 3 different routers in a few years. With the first router, i made a zone that worked. Later i tried to host a zone with 2nd router, but couldn't make that work. My current router has the same problem.

I have opened these ports from router settings: TCP 1850, 5000. UDP 1850, 5000, 5001 and all the other ports, that i saw continuum/asss.exe using with kerio firewall.

I have inner and outer ip. Can that be a problem when hosting a zone?

Here is my global.conf:

Code: Show/Hide

[ General ]

;PublicArenas = turf pb

[ Billing ]
;Proxy = bin/proxy
IP = 80.186.131.82
Port = 1850
ServerName = gilder Zone
Password = [N/A]

[mysql] // not on
hostname=localhost
user=asss
password=[N/A]
database=asss

;; the syntax for these is:
;; [log_whatever]
;; modulename = DIMWE
;; D = debug, I = info, M = malicious, W = warning, E = error
;; they MUST be in caps
;; the modulename can be "all" to catch unmatched modules.
;; if you don't filter it out, it's enabled by default.

;[log_console]
; all = DIMWE

[log_file]
all = IMWE
persist = MWE
chat = DIMWE

[log_sysop]
all = ME

[ Listen ]
;; the main listening port
Port = 5000

[ Directory ]

Name = test zone
Description = this is a test zone.

Server1 = sscentral.ds98.com
Server2 = sscentral.subspace.inet.fi
Server3 = sscentral.subspacehq.com
Server4 = sscentral.subspace.net

Have you had someone outside of your LAN confirm the zone is red? In my experience if I download a zone I am hosting locally from the directory servers it will always appear red.

By the way, you only need UDP 5000-5001 open.

Two of my ss friends tried to add that server, but they saw the server red too.

in modules.conf did you un-comment the directory module?

Directory is commented. I put this post to general questions, because i have had this problem with subgame too.

Try using a port other than 5000. Some ISPs block random port ranges for the 'security' of their users. Find a port that you know isn't blocked and use that. Or, pick out some random ones, like 7230 or 12408.

Another test: can other computers on your LAN connect to your server? Kerio could be blocking packets or you could be in a dual-firewall situation with Kerio allowing it but Windows blocking it. Make sure your computer isn't the problem by having another computer on your LAN connect (use your internal network IP address).

I changed server listening port to 7943 and opened those ports. I couldn't connect to the server with my own computer or with another LAN comp. I can later ask some friend to try this port.

I added my zone in other computer in my LAN and i could connect without problems with inner ip (192.168.254.1).

Sounds like you have a software firewall problem. Disable Kerio for now and try again through your LAN. Check to make sure your Windows firewall is also disable.

Hm? If his other LAN comps could connect fine, that doesn't sound like a software firewall to me.

Yea. I meant that i couldn't connect with outer ip, but inner ip was fine with both computers.
I think i should try to do something to my adsl modem.

I haven't seen many people that can connect to themselves with their outer ip.
