Hello all,

I am currently having an issue with a server instance of Modern Warfare 3 dedicated server. The Steam tool is being used, and I have done all of the necessary configuration within the server.cfg file and I can ensure that the server is up and running.

However, I am having an issue trying to change the port. I have servers running on TCP/UDP 27015 and 27016. I want to change the net_port and net_queryPort to 27107 and 27018, respectively. I have verified external configurations in our Cisco routing servers are correct, however this is not the issue.

When I start the game server it states the following:

version 1.2.359
Connecting to online services...
Connected to online services.
Executing server config "server.cfg"
Succeeded in reading from default.dspl
Loaded 5 map entries

...
Initializing Steam Game server: game port 27015, auth port 8766, query port 27017, gamedir modernwarfare 3, version 1.0.0.0
Steam Game server Initialized as Internet Server.
No Steam Master Servers found. Server will be LAN visible only.


While it is set as an Internet server and is shown to be working, I am also concerned about the "No Steam Master Servers." I have placed the Steam.dll in the server root as someone had stated, but I still have these two issues.

Thanks.

*EDIT: When I attempt to do set net_port 27017 in the server prompt, it says that "net_port is write protected"
*EDIT: I have also tried to uncomment +set net_port in the server.cfg and tried changing it to simply set net_port but to no avail =\

well, i bought mw3 already and i haven't set up a MW3 PC server for malaysia. as i did on my alterIWnet server, i make a shortcut of the executable file and put the following command:

example:

+set net_port 12345 +set party_maxplayers 50 +exec server.cfg +map mp_mapname +map_rotate

my server runs perfectly. I have exams right now. if i'm free, i try to make a MW3 server. if i can do just like the method i showed you, i'll teach you how to do it.

Oh so doing it through the shortcut. That might work, I hope it does, but let me try it and post back.

I am just thinking that if it is some permissions issue that is not allowing net_port to be changed, then that might explain why the configuration file hasn't worked either.

Thanks a ton, getfukd. That worked for me and resolved the overarching issue.
