server browser doesn't show any servers

[HansMeisa]

i got a problem, my nexuiz server browse doesn't show any servers anymore, since a few days. I don't think that are all servers offline, so i sugguest my computer is the problem. does anybody have an idea to get rid of the problem?

Are you using any kind of personal firewall? If so, try running Nexuiz in windowed mode, to see if any confirmation dialogs pop up.

Have you changed anything lately? Installed a new Nex version? A (new) firewall or an router or something?
Other then that more info would be nice. Like: What system are you using, which version of Nexuiz..

If you have a router that could cause the problem (maybe you changed something or did a firmware upgrade to it), try this workaround:

create a file "autoexec.cfg" next to your config.cfg and write into it:

Code: Select all

cl_port 26005

and tell your router to forward the UDP port 26005 to your computer.

i'am using nexuiz 2.1 (just re-installed) with winXP incl. sp2 on a Sempron 2800+ and a GF GT6600GT (ForceWare 91.31) behind a netgear router. (firewall was deaktivated, cause to except any problems with it)

i didn't changed the router settings, since the last time a played nexuiz without problems.
but i tried the thing with the autoexec.cfg file, but it didn't worked (yes, i also forwarded the port 26005 on the router)

i think the problem could be arised by an network device i just deinstalled (hamatchi, a vpn-software). now, i still have installed 3 networkdevices. (2 are deactivated).
Is there a way to choose, witch networkdevice nexuiz has to use?

Not really - it just uses the default route.

Well, you can choose an interface, but only by specifying its IP. And since only one is up, you wouldn't need this anyway.

If I were at your position, I'd look using Wireshark if Nexuiz sent out packets through the right interface and if replies came back.

Thank for all your help, but it didn't help. I just reinstalled my Windows XP and now it works.

Which network related software did you have installed apart from Hamachi (personal firewalls? "Internet security" suites?)? I'll try to reproduce it later in a sandbox system.
