Hey Everyone,
I've reproduced this twice now and I think it is a bug:
Server:
Linux 2.0.36 w/ ipportfw patch
ftp, quake, and raudio MASQ modules loaded
UDP ports 2000-2020 IPPORTFWed
486-160Mhz w/ 40MB RAM
Lots of SCSI and IDE disk
Client:
Windows 95 OSR2 patched
GameSpy 2.09
Quake II v3.19
Basically, when you install GameSpy (www.gamespy.com) on a
Windows box, you are given a central interface to find the
fastest game servers to your location and a easy method
to join into those games. The interface also shows the
server name, ping time, running maps, etc.
The problem happens when you double-click on the Quake2 entry
in the left-hand window to "update the servers". The first
or second time, you will get a good list of servers and decently
low ping times. If you do this a few more times, all of the sudden,
all the ping times goto 9999 and from the Linux server's logs,
you see:
Jan 13 00:07:09 trinity2 kernel: ip_masq_new(proto=UDP): no free ports.
The only solution I found to this problem is to reboot. I cannot
unload the ip_masq_quake module since it is "in use"
Any ideas?
