Ubuntu 6.10 Desktop Dedicated Server Timeouts

by Eric Clausing · in Torque Game Engine · 02/06/2007 (12:52 pm) · 2 replies

I have jumped from Gentoo over to Ubuntu 6.10 Desktop and trying to run a dedicated server and hitting a roadblock. The server comes up fine but I can't get my clients to connect to it. It just times out.

I have tried forwarding the ports on my netgear router to 28000 and get no connection. It is almost like Ubuntu is blocking it.

Any ideas?

Your ubuntu firewall will be blocking it. Open that port using your system firewall preferences.

Also, try:
netstat -tan | grep 28000

to make sure the dedicated server is running and listening to the correct port *and* IP address ( make sure it is not localhost or a local IP address )
