Hi Devs,

i've got a problem with my dedicated C1 Servers.

Since a couple of time i've running one ("Swimmingpool") on my homeserver (Windows Server 2008 R2) because there are a few people they want to play C1 and it has worked very well until yesterday or two days ago. Since than the server got the IP 192.168.1.44 assigned when i have a look on the Multiplayer-screen where the internetgames are listed, same entrys are in the serverlog. But this IP is neither the WAN-IP nor the LAN-IP of my server. Where does the IP came from?

Today i had time to setup another dedicated on my internet vserver (ubuntu 10.04) and there is the same issue. Copy from log:

The IP of this server should be 178.77.75.188. From my homeserver i don't know exactly because it's changing
periodically, mostly one in the area of 93.x.x.x or 92.x.x.x.

When i connect to the servers with "Find game by IP" directly everything works fine, so i don't think the problem is on my servers?!?

Paradoxx aka Frankenstein yesterday created a non-dedicated one and he has gotten the correct IP assigned.

Where does the IP came from and what can i or someone else do to solve this?

Hope for help

At the moment the correct IP of my homeserver (my private connection) is x.x.x.x.

My homeserver is simply connected to the internet only via a Fritz!Box7930, no additional hardware. On the Box is portforwarding enabled for the C1 port 12555 to the local address of the server. This Setup is (was) working for nearly half a year and now there is these problem with the ip assignment. I havn't made any changes on my setup. Very comic is that the "new" on the Ubuntu-machine (which is direktly in the internet -> host-europe) shows the same behavior.

Both servers (x.x.x.x and 178.77.75.188) work very well at the moment when you connect direktly through the "Find game by IP" interface.

Edit: removed private IP, it has changed...

Thanks for the support. It's good to know where the problem is, to solve it. :)

But it's not completely solved yet. Now your address to register a internetgame is not reachable (it seems so). I've got these message in the serverlog:

------------------

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://cultris.ath.cx/external/cultris/inetplay/add19.asp
.at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1403)
.at rb.a(Unknown Source)
.at rb.run(Unknown Source)
.at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:679)

10:46:45 AM Internet gaming: Add server

------------------

When i type the address http://cultris.ath.cx/external/cultris/inetplay/add19.asp in my browser i get the following:

------------------

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'CLng'

/external/cultris/inetplay/default.asp, line 99

------------------

Think we are on the right way, so i hope servers will work soon.

Thanks for your patience!

Can you test again? It should work now.
