Server Online Status?

[Jordan Heinz]

I just added my shard (Minnesota UO). Online status says an amber X. I am pretty confident my firewall is configured properly & the shard is definitely online. Is this checked only a few times a day or?

Thanks. Former old OSI & recent UO Forever player. Just wanted to host my own shard & keep it pretty vanilla. Anyone is welcome to build & play. It will be up 24/7 on a dedicated server.

Generally it is checked every 5 minutes. It seems there is an issue with the poller server communication with your shard. I will see what I can dig up.

Ok, thanks. If there is an additional port that needs to be opened up -- I would just need to know what it is.. TCP or UDP, etc. Thanks. I am forwarding 2593/TCP to the internal IP @ 2593/TCP currently. Canyouseeme.org says it is open, and my A record for the server appears to be resolving correctly externally. What is the IP of polling server? I run pfSense, so I can probably see what kind of communication is being blocked (if any).

Can you try put your physical IP as your address in the server list? I am mobile at the moment so can't check terminal but there might be some DNS issues.

Edited shard in the server list @ 3:32PM CST. Did not see any packets coming from that IP for 3-4 minutes during a packet capture. Running another one now.
[doublepost=1484430692][/doublepost] @dmurphy Ok, so we definitely appear to have some two-way activity. I noticed other shards are using domains/subdomains, so I used one too by default. Still showing as not online.

[doublepost=1484436989][/doublepost]You will have to let me know if you want me to adjust anything in my server.cfg or anything. This is currently it.

# The displayed name of the shard
Name=Minnesota UO

# The default setting for Address, a value of 'null', will use your local IP address.
# If all of your local IP addresses are private network addresses and AutoDetect is 'true'
# then ServUO will attempt to discover your public IP address for you automatically.
AutoDetect=true

# If you do not plan on allowing clients outside of your LAN to connect,
# you can set AutoDetect to 'false' and leave Address set to 'null'.
#
# If your public IP address cannot be determined, you must change the value
# of Address to your public IP address
# manually to allow clients outside of your LAN to connect to your server.
# Address can be either an IP address or a hostname that will be resolved
# when ServUO starts.
#
# If you want players outside your LAN to be able to connect to your server
# and you are behind a router,
# you must also forward TCP port 2593 to your private IP address.
# The procedure for doing this varies by manufacturer but generally involves
# configuration of the router through your web browser.
Address=73.37.183.90

# The Port to bind the Listener to.
# Default: 2593
Port=2593

@dmurphy - Is there anything else you want me to try? I've left it up for a few days & your service is definitely connecting successfully (I think) every 5-10 minutes. Still shows offline.
