Pete, servers.dat is the same stuff indeed, IIRC.

I did a little experiment, which includes
- installing Linux on a free partition on my harddisk
- installing an ALink server

I tested the thing with a copy of CtP on my old PC (attached via a second ethernet card - my tiny "home network").
It seems to be working fine. I found my server, entered the lobby, saw a second player, which I had created with the test program (gtest) and started a game.
Now I need someone from outside my network to verify that it is working. So if anyone is online, could you please try the attached servers.dat (please change the filename extension) and try to connect. Thanks.

Hm, maybe this is kind of a firewall issue. I'll have to investigate that. But not now - I really need some sleep (almost 4:00 am here).

Anytime

I also need to confirm with someone that the kali thing is being done correctly?

I have the servers just no one around..

I found the CTP area but just need to find someone online and agree to be there to check it out!

don't forgert Troll.. you have to launch ctp from kali, and you both have to be in the same chat server... it can be anyone as long you are on the same one.. you should see each other and be able to chat each other, for example Paul and I used the descent chat server.

You do not have to register kali to make it work with CTP... at present anyways, it just means you can't host a chat server or createbuddies and a few other minor things.

Also you don't have to have IPX/SPx loaded as a protocol, because... it doesn't really use it, Kaliemulates it.

If you're on Linux, you will need to mess with IPTables. Make sure that it accepts connections, not drops them. The default policy usually is dropping all that has not been specifically set as allowed traffic.

No, Troll, I was referring to Hatschy, not you. If he's running the server, then the reason you can't connect to him is probably at his end.

I continued my experiments from last weekend. I think I got it working now. I was able to see the server, enter lobby, start game etc. from outside (i.e. no local network connection between server and game PC). Could somebody verify this by installing the attached servers.dat, please. The "server" will be online for approx. two hours from now.

I enetred the lobby and found you Hatschy but you had a 2000 ping and I couldnt click on you name to find any information...

Ok..I could "click" but you wouldnt come up...

I said hello a few times..

So you can at least see the server and enter the lobby. Sorry, I was not near my PC, so I didn't see you in the lobby.

Ping 2000? I have cable from Frohnleiten, Austria. I got a ping of 260 when I tried the following: Game PC <--> modem (telephone line, 28k !!!) <--> university <--> Internet <--> ISP <--> cable modem <--> server PC.

Why two hours? Well, the "server" is actually my workstation, and I'll be unable to use Windows when the server is running (runs under Linux). So I'll have to turn it off (i.e. boot Win2k).

Hatschy

Sorry, but I'm far from being a Linux/network/security expert. If I was, I maybe had already solved the problems

Ya humm ah my router ya it droped all the packets from your server. Let me open and allow reroute if your about still.

For me it was smooth sailing, good ping good connection. Clark connect has built in firewall but can not get it up and running. I'll try again later.
