Port Forwarding
-
Okay…
There are no IPv4 addresses left, maybe except AFNIC.
My ISP switched to NAT after 10 years. Guess won’t play with you.
Sent a request to provide a public one (on grounds that ipip and ipsec isn’t natted) but they didn’t even respond.
Best of luck with the dubious tcp/ip interpretation. See you in the n falcon years it takes for BMS to support AF_INET6.

Looks like the problem rises as some member of my wing won’t get an IPv4 adress from their german providers. Hope BMS can adress this before it gets more worse

To bring this old thread up:
how can a client test if his router fu**s up his portforwarding without connection to a BMS server running in Debug mode? Is this possible with an tool or something?
Simple Port Tester. http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/simple_port_tester.html
Some programs ‘lie’ and tell you ports are open when they are not …. or that they are closed, when they are open. Simple Port Tester works perfectly (for me) … if it says ports are open, Falcon works as it should; If it says ports are closed, Falcon fails as it should.
-
Thx for the link. Tried it and works for me also, but on another clients it shows the ports open but Falcon still claims the client is connection dubious. We have to make further checks ….

Forwarding ports as a client is superfluous and accomplishes nothing. Only the host needs to forward his ports. 99% of the connection problems I’ve seen in BMS were due to the host setting something up incorrectly. The other 1% were something boneheaded like not having the right theater selected.

Please start reading the whole thread (at least start with post #13) and you will see you’re statement is more or less wrong …

See my post on the first page of the thread and take your own advice? But go ahead and chase down blind alleys if you wish.

Dubious if the fallback works.

I did. Maybe it makes no difference if you fly with one or two other guys. But for a larger party it IS essential to have a stable MP experience. If you have too much clients with closed ports you will chase down the bumpy road to LAGTOWN …
-
Well correct me if I’m wrong but lagtown is not from closed ports… But mostly from bad ISP service, bad hardware, bad software.
With bad hardware not the computer but network equipment… Example a wireless router gets all heated up and problems start. In case u don’t believe me touch it and u will see, even wired switch have this problem, right now I have one all open up and a 12" fan on it to cool it down, works just fine compared to fanless.So zillion things can go bad. The idea is to track and minimize those so to save us the trouble and maximize our MP enjoyment.

Good to see this thread active……
LAGTOWN, is that in southen UK ?

Only wrong due to bms architectural problem, i.e. p2p with mesh topology. IPX was inadequate and we should learn from history.

Hopefully the diligently lads from BMS can adress this in a future patch and bring MP in BMS to a new level
Some things like no IPv6, Server to be in 3D, necessary flawless portforwarding etc. makes online flying a difficult task sometimes. but i believe in the BMS guys doing their best - keep the hard work up, plenty mugs full with beer awaits you
-
My good news is that ISP gave a public IP address for free. Guy calls me every few days so that can help them diagnose a DHCP lease problem on their CMTS. In any case they now admit the problem exists.
Anyhoo can now play Falcon with you fellas if timezone permits.
