Punch Packet

[mew1996]

When I start my dedicated server and try to connect to it, it says Sending Punch Packet... over and over again.  When I start the server it does something wierd in the Initilizing UPnP part.  I have posted a consle log with this if anyone wants to take a look at it.

Don't listen to what Anti-Matter Master is telling you, he's being stupid.

Ok, so does anyone know how to fix it?!?!

You have to enable UPnP in your router or port forward.

Either one.

Few things;

GetExternalIPAddress failed.

GetSpecificPortMappingEntry() failed with code -1 (Miniupnpc Unknown Error)

That looks like your problem, seems like UPnP might not actually be enabled; check your settings of the router.

The following 2 add-ons should/can be deleted:

Checking Add-On Vehicle_Abrams
    Add-On is in the list of known bad add-on CRCs - will not execute

Checking Add-On script_GreekBots
    Add-On is in the list of known bad add-on CRCs - will not execute

When connecting to a dedicated server which is hosted on your own computer, you need to use the "query LAN" option, rather than internet.
If this does not work, you will need to change the UPnP settings on your router.

Please read my entire post.

It works for my computer now, but my friends are getting the same Sending Punch Packet... problem.

Some routers may require you to "save and restart" or something to apply settings, you may wish to try that. Also double check that your UPnP is enabled, if I try to enable mine through the web interface it doesn't work and I ended up using telnet to enable it.

I do have a mac airport.  I saw somewhere that NAT is the same as UPnP and so I have that enabled.  The airport utility did make me restart the airport.

Sadly, NAT is not the same as UPnP, and I believe I read somewhere that Airports don't support UPnP. This means you will have to port forward (ye olde fashione method). There is a sticky at the top of this page if you need a tutorial on the port forwarding.

I don't have an Airport so if someone wants to correct me on the UPnP status, feel free.
