Server connection issue

[OmfgUrANoob]

Dear readers,

First of all, I am not sure if this is a bug or somthing to do with things on my side.
Some time ago I wanted to host a server as I wanted to do something for the community.
I managed to install/run it and it worked fine.

But what I mean with fine, is that players can join and play a game to their liking and both ping and game experience are good.
But after some time the server is running, it seems that it loses connection to the internet, even though it does not give an error message or any indication that it is malfunctioning.

I posted a topic about this some time ago but at that time I did not pursue the matter any further.
I am wondering if any of you have experienced the same problem.
If any of you would need more details to further determine the cause of the problem then tell me what you need to know.

greetingzz
Noob

-edit:
I have done some further searching and it seems someone else has had the same problem, but the thread does not show a solutuion.

Hello noob, (Had to do it)
Are you 100% sure that you have a stable LAN with a good router that isn't scared of some traffic?
Mainly a normal home-user Asus or Cyberlink or what-ever should be enough.

One thing to note is that it is highly recommended to provide servers with a static IP address.
If you are confident about your server's security measures you could even put it in a DMZ(Demilitarized zone) so your router won't interfere with your server's network connections.
Then you can change the server's firewall to the requirements.

Then one should take note that you might have both a router and a modem.
If that is the case then please do check if your modem has a firewall, 90% of the time they do, actually, have an enabled firewall.
If you can not configure your modem you should contact your ISP and request them either to do it for you or to give you the ability to do it yourself.
(While you are at it, also ask them about the ports they block by default on their side, mine for example blocks just port 25 and about every port that has something to do with file-sharing, RDP and AD-services, I need to use their relay agent to host mail servers.)

If all this did not solve the issue then you might first want to check and see if the network drivers are failing, a clean driver install hardly ever hurt.
Maybe the issue lies in the cables or a loose/poor quality connector.

If all this is fine and dandy then something might be wrong in the code or there is an incompatibility between the libraries used for the network handling and the hardware or something else(Faulty RAM?).

Generally I would avoid hosting anything on hardware that is not server-graded, so it has error detection and correction in the RAM, a slightly under-clocked CPU for improved stability etc. but that is, of course, a personal taste.

Sorry for the long bit of text there.
If anything helped to solve your issues, please do post it so others might just have to read this post to be able to fix their issues, it also helps the dev team.

Hello, thanks for replying,
nobody else has...

I just wanted to quickly reply but I must say I just read your reply and did not do anything with your information yet.
I do have something to say regarding stable connection and static ip connection things you mentioned.
I just played halo pc 16/16 on a server I host aswel (played for a few hours) so im pretty sure it is not that.
Also I am able to host TeamSpeak 3 while playing either KAM and/or Halo so the internet should be good.

Also, the problem usually occurs when the last players leaves the server. Can alsways play several hours on the KAM server with friends without problems. But as soon as the last person leaves it get the error.

I have a modem and router in one.
I have added todays log it might help you help me

PS: you can call me Noob (im used to it)

Again, thanks for replying

I'm sorry bro. I'm sure everybody wants to help but like me, i dont have knowledge of this stuff.
There is a select group of people here who can tell u exactly what to do perhaps but for some others it's just a guessing game.

Now if you'd like some relationship advice or something. Thats something i can help u with. Because i screwed up so many relationships i can tell u exactly what NOT to do Haha no just kidding i hope u can work it out with your server problems. Just not in my alley.

[OmfgUrANoob]

Thanks man

In a relationship for almost 5 yrs now so don't need help with that haha.
I do like to know what the other people hosting a server do different than me.

So if anyone has a server that does not have this problem please contact me aswel.
