Server Ip 127.0.0.1

Skeletor72 · February 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">grr</div> Hello

I have been wondering to fix the problem when you start the server (linu> and it does say every tme
Server IP : 127.0.0.1
Anyone solved that problem.It is getting on my nerves.
I have seen ppl say that put it is hosts file but that is not working

How are you starting your server?

mathyou · February 2003

Is the network configured properly so you have a real IP? It is odd that the server would use a loopback address.

cracker_jackmac · February 2003

guys, he's doing nothing wrong.

I have the same thing. The only way to fix it was something with the linux host.cfg but i don't remember so i can't post the fix. Sorry.

Skeletor72 · February 2003

Yup
I got same thing on all 5 servers.
I heard some ppl are adding to host file in linux and tried tha talso but nothing changed
and I tried to start wit hip in command line also and still same

You're going about finding your IP the wrong way. HL thinks that the null address you're giving us IS your right one. There are lots of webpages with simple scripts that will tell you your ip (like this one: <a href='http://www.lawrencegoetz.com/programs/ipinfo/' target='_blank'>http://www.lawrencegoetz.com/programs/ipinfo/</a> ), and that should fix your problem.

I also assume there's something wrong with the network configuration, so half-life is defaulting to binding the loopback address.

Does <b>ifconfig</b> report another adapter besides lo, and that adapter is properly configured and functioning? If so, add <b>+ip yo.ur.ip.addy</b> to your HLDS command line.

that will not work.

the external IPs are bound the Routers "WAN" port. You cannot bind to another IF's IP addy.

In case the network is configured correctly, try starting hlds with the arguments "+ip <gameservers_ip> +port <well...youknowwhatthatdoes>".
Ex.:
</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>./hlds -game ns +maxplayers 14 +map ns_nancy +ip 10.0.0.1 +port 27015</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>
(for a LAN-server also add "+sv_lan 1 -nomaster")

<b>Ops ... sorry, didn't see that some1 allready posted that hint.</b>

f3Rl3SS · February 2003

OK ... seem lil more difficult.
In that case, please post your complete networkconfig here.

i beleive if you edit the /etc/host file that you can add the true IP of the server to the outside world. but i'm not sure about this...lemme try it.

that worked

*bump* to make sticky

Skeletor72 · February 2003

Weird
I tried everything including in host file

like 213.113.60.44 ns.wondernet.nu in the host file
but stil lsays the same
and did set it first there also so localhost is below it

cracker_jackmac · February 2003

IP LocalMachineName FQDN ShortName

thats the order...you need to have it all filled out.

edit: you'll have to restart HLDS for it to take effect.

Speaking of the "route" command for linux. Have you ever wanted to "ban" someone without banning them. If you want to make your server dissappear to someone. Do this:

route add -host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gw 127.0.0.1

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip you want to "null route". Youll have to play with this line for different flavors of Linux/*nix. If you do this often and you want to see all the ip's you've "null routed" use:

netstat -rn

Server Ip 127.0.0.1
