Topic: WARNING: No master servers. Retrying in 60 seconds

I have some servers which were running without any issue until this morning, when they all started giving this error message:

[register]: WARNING: No master servers. Retrying in 60 seconds

I restarted them and nothing changed. I can see the servers list and play on all servers (mine and from the list) using the game client without any issues. Is there a way to debug this problem?

Your server is very probably blocked by a firewall somewhere (possibly on your router).

I haven't changed any settings on my router since I started running these, which was over a month ago. All I know about the TW network protocol is that it's using UDP, so back to my original question: is there any way to debug this problem?

Here's a part of the traffic reported by iptraf when I restart the servers:

So it seems that it's not a network connectivity issue. Am I right?

Afaik it uses TCP also, and even though you didn't find it yet, it is probably a network connectivity issue.

No TCP is used in TW in general (If you leave out the econ stuff, which is entirely optional).

Re: WARNING: No master servers. Retrying in 60 seconds

No luck getting my server registered here either. I'm sure it's not a problem on my side of the line though.

edit: nevermind. master2 just worked. (I was getting the same message before)
