Can't connect to host [yet another!]
Hi all..

Unfortunately another "connect timed out" type query. I have a host running on a Windows 2000 virtual machine behind a NAT firewall.

The host is v0.5Z3 (downloaded today from the main site).

I can connect fine to the host using the VM's private IP (and default port of 63392) but when trying to connect to the server host "st00" in-game you get the typical "connect time out" message. I've not been able to find it in the master server list but it seems to recognise the host name (as you dont get an "unknown host" error)..

I have configured my port forwarding (pf on OpenBSD) as thus :-

rdr on wan inet proto tcp from any to <some_public_ip_here> port = 63392 -> 192.168.10.137
rdr on wan inet proto udp from any to <some_public_ip_here> port = 63392 -> 192.168.10.137

Similar rules are working fine for other game daemons i'm running on this VM.

I have no outbound restrictions so no need for the outbound rule to be added.

Any thoughts peeps?

Thanks!

Can you post the deb.log and a screenshot of the lfs server?

This logfile is from starting the server and an external client attempting to connect. External client received "connect failed" and that's it. I can connect from the internal network. It appears port forwarding is working as the server see's the initial external request!
