oz server not showing up in server list

Maybe it's just me, but looks like the server not showing up on list for a month or so. Therefore not many players turning up on server.
You guys need a hand sorting it out? i can do the required network protocols testing to establish root cause.

Other day phill sent an email to the masterlist people, not sure what came of that.

our net ip is net_ip "119.252.190.217"
is that the actual IP on the interface or just the NATed internet address. if it's the latter, net_ip cvar should be left blank.
The only thing left after this is being blocked outbound on the udp port net_port cvar. DNS is working correctly on oz server and i believe reverse dns mapping not necessary for master servers. oz server sends a piece of text to all sv_masters saying "heartbeat" every now and again, as long as it can find out ip and route to send the udp datagram to. i'll read more code and check some bits.

Yes, all outbound traffic from the box should be free to pass.
If net_ip causes issues, you will see errors during startup about not being able to bind socket. it will still startup though.

i think i found the problem. doing server status shows protocol is 82. this is the older protocol before et 2.6. upgrade or whatever required so protocol is 84.

damn it. that's probably not it either. one of the commands shows protocol 82 and other 84. must be 2.55 leftover command. serverstatus and serverinfo.

Is it a hosts file problem on the server this caused clients to not see lists previously, not sure about servers tho

set sv_master1 "etmaster.idsoftware.com"
set sv_master2 "master.gamespy.com:27900"
set sv_master3 "master0.gamespy.com"
set sv_master4 "clanservers.net"
set sv_master5 "master3.idsoftware.com"
set sv_master6 "wolfmaster.idsoftware.com"
set sv_master7 "master0.etmaster.net"

Found this on google, looks like its got something to do with ET

the hosting helpdesk should be able to help out in resolving this issue. oz admin probably dont have access to a terminal shell and linux server logs for troubleshooting.
most new/casual players arent stopping by anymore because not on ingame server list.
i think the etmaster.idsoftware.com is on port 27951. worth a shot.

Is there anything I can do to help with this? If Wolfenstein Sri Lanka can get theirs to show up, surely we should be able to ...
