"double" Port

Hi,
see above please my forever.log. I see this every second or third time that my Port 7010 (also if I try 6112 and other random ports) will cause a debug info in the log and the Lobby automatically will change to another Port over 10000 ...
Its obvisous that people can not join my hosted games if that occurs, except the UPNP service would work for me.

I hope I can help you with this information Ze_Pilot. Maybe you can help me to fix that? :?:

It's because your router is routing correctly the first packet, then do some shit and forward to another port. The server try to detect that. Nothing abnormal.

Happen often with uPnP on.

in the lobby I haven't enabled UPNP. Only in the router and at Windows (firewall) UPNP is enabled .
My router protocol tells me that the FAF Lobby isn't sending any package to the port 7010! Only to the "new" port, which is going to be blocked.

2012-08-19 08:51:16,250 INFO faf.client port used : 7010
2012-08-19 08:51:16,250 INFO faf.client port used : 26551

the "new" port have been exactly set in more or less the same moment it should have used 7010.

Are you sure it's a problem of my router?
Not "maybe" any kind of bug?

No.

When you start FA, it will open by default on the port you set.
Then the server will ask you to send an UPD packet to it.

The server then look at the port used to send that packet, and do it several time to be sure it's the real port that must be used : some router switch ports after the first packet with uPnP.

It's seems that it's the case with you.

Post the game.log if you want a confirmation.
