This means that it tried to register you on the master server, but since you're on the LAN (and probably behind the NAT and/or firewall), it couldn't ping you, and told you about that.

How to disable that? RTFM somewhere around the -m switch.

This does not seem to be the only problem. I sometimes open a server for a game on noxa.de and this server is not behind a firewall. Sometimes the master server is able to ping back and sometimes it is not, although i report the correct IP using the -i switch.

It happens quite randomly, I guess.

maybe its the UDP packet getting lost. I think the masterserver tries at least 3 times now... if it is still happening report to sleepy@fov120.com
