server problem

[jtm]

I use the demo version as a server and other player connects to me over internet. Everything goes fine (we can chat etc.) but when the game starts there is always in the lower right corner text:"disconnected?". I wonder why this happens? Is there any solution for this?

There is more information in the troubleshooting document that can be accessed via your manual, but there seems to be a firewall that is blocking UDP traffic from the server to the client. If this happens to everyone, it is probably on the server side, if only to that one client, it is probably in the client side. What would help is to tell the firewall it is ok to send UDP and TCP messages to and from ports 6655 and 6654.

I've tried it also without any firewalls activated (server&client) so I think the problem is in portforwarding. The UDP packects are not now forwarded to my LAN though the TCP packets are.

Lets test that solution.
