Description Zachary Williams 2002-12-12 19:18:46 EST 
While the game will bind to the proper IP, the query port does 'not' bind to
the proper IP.  It meerly binds on a global basis, instead of to the aliased
interface.

netstat -an output (snipped)

udp        0      0 146.20.43.191:14567     0.0.0.0:*
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:23000           0.0.0.0:*

It should bind to 146.20.43.191:23000 not 0.0.0.0.  It functions, but, it
will cause issues for multiple servers on a single machine.

I believe this is now fixed for FreeBSD. Can you confirm before I resolve this bug?

--ryan.
Comment 7 Steven Hartland 2003-01-16 07:08:42 EST 
Indeed it is.
game.setServerIP 212.42.10.162 now gives:
gamespy: trying to bind to 212.42.10.162, port 23000.
Comment 8 Ryan C. Gordon 2003-01-16 07:17:55 EST 
(For the record, the "fix" was to set the UDP socket to be "reusable"...this is
either a peculiar aspect of FreeBSD or a bug in the Linux binary compatibility
that it requires this. Not that it shouldn't be set reusable, but gamespy's SDK
doesn't do this by default...).
