Getting ping to show in server list

[ratbuddy]

Anyone know what ports to open for this?

[HAARP]

Everybody's saying that ICMP needs to be allowed. It is allowed for me, but it still shows up as N/A. Other than that, only udp port 64100 is needed, and it's opened.

See here under 'local':

Game Port Usage

For all traffic between server and client 'game' port is used
(default 64100).
                                                                                 Ports
SDK        Service                  Hostname                                    Type  Local  Remote

I also tried opening the remote ports locally just for shits and giggles, but that didn't help either (obviously)

I have an idea for how to do it, but wife is still on the HTPC watching Married with Children. Once she's off, I'll try it out and update

If you just want people to be able to join: 64100 for Wars, 64087 for Crysis.

People can join just fine, but ping shows as N/A in the server list no matter what I try

Since that won't affect gameplay I would say it's safe to ignore.

[HAARP]

Nobody joins a server with N/A ping.

Nobody joins a server with N/A ping.

It's true.

really looking for an answer for this as well, I've had other people join my server (Free Rasalhague Republic) at times but while I see it in my local network tab with a ping of 32ms, it shows up on gamespys servers as N/A

[~SJ~ Xarg Talasko]

Maybe put your location in the server name so people know what kind of ping to expect? An example being something like FRR - US-TX or EU-DE... wherever you are.

[HAARP]

Good idea, but it doesn't fix the problem.

It seems """professional""" gamehosts are doing something differently.

All I did for my home hosted box: Allow ping to my router. That fixed it.

[ratbuddy]

What router ya have?

I run a WRT54G2 V1.5 and allowing ping didn't work.

Linux Server.

If anyone ever solves this please PM me, I've set my router to allow ping but I still get NA.   I've got a Netgear WNDR3700.
