Can't Connect to Admin

OK, I can't connect to the admin of the server for the life of me. No matter what app I use, it hangs for 20 seconds then just says connection failed.

The server is a dedicated server running on linux, there is no firewall blocking any ports going to it. I am behind a NAT device, its a linux router here at home, however it blocks no outgoing ports at all.

When I start the server I get this: Server IP: 127.0.0.1 Port: 23073

My box has 5 IPs pointing to it, however I can connect and play fine, no problem.

Does anyone know what can be happening?

I have the same (or similar problem). Have you got the latest dedicated server? if not thats why.

Well, try this: http://serverip:serverport/ to see if the admin connection is at least alive?

I am indeed running the latest dedicated server release (2.3.7).

I can't connect to the serverip (its 69.41.249.194:23073), using my browser. However it is listening:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 *:23073 *:* LISTEN 32378/soldatserver

So I'm not quite sure what's going on.

I can also telnet in using the localhost on the server box:

Soldat Admin Connection Established...
Admin connected (127.0.0.1).
Invalid server password. Cannot login.
Admin failed to connect (127.0.0.1).

However I cannot telnet in from any other box...

[EDIT]

Oh wow, just checked the iptables filters, and there was ONE rule dropping all packets on 23073, I have no idea why.

Sorry for the false alarm :)

Hey, it seems I typed my admin pass wrong. So Vostk maybe thats your problem
Also, why doesn't my server come up on local?
