Can't connect

[Laran]

Hi all ...
Sorry for another \" no connection\" post ... But really dunno what to do ...
I downloaded the game , and run updater --auto .
I get all the updates . Now updater say :

All files are up-to-date!
Updates: 0

So this should be ok .
But I \'ve got this messages in updater (LOTS!!), dunno if it\'s normal :
[...]
Skipping file data/shader/splatting_scattering_b.avp, because it\'s readonly
Skipping file data/shader/splatting_scattering_base.avp, because it\'s readonly
Skipping file data/shader/splatting_scattering_base.xml, because it\'s readonly

[...]
Skipping file vfs.cfg, because it\'s readonly
Skipping file pssetup.cfg, because it\'s readonly
Skipping file psupdater.cfg, because it\'s readonly
Warning: Couldn\'t find module \'other_os\' in registry.



Then when I try connect says can\'t reach server . I can\'t ping either from updater .
I have opened my fw on ports 7777 ( first udp and then , disperately tcp too )
Those are the rules I added in my fw box :
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --dport 7777 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 7777 -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXTERNALIF -p udp  --dport 2347 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A PREROUTING -t nat -i $EXTERNALIF -p udp --dport 7777 \\
                      -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.2:7777
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXTERNALIF -p udp  --dport 7777 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A PREROUTING -t nat -i $EXTERNALIF -p tcp --dport 7777 \\
                      -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.2:7777
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXTERNALIF -p tcp  --dport 7777 -j ACCEPT

Obviously 192.168.0.2 IS my ip

( I have similar rules for other games and they seems to work )

Server report to be on from :http://laanx.fragnetics.com/

My machine is an Athlon 1500
GeForce FX 5500
1GB ram

running linux slackware 10.2



Some1 can help ?

Thx in advance

Those readonly warnings don\'t look healthy. Did you set the correct permissions on PS? The user updating should have rwx permissions.

As Xordan wrote - make all Planeshift files writable by user. Since You know, how to edit system configuration files, You should also know, how to change file permissions . Then try to run updater again. This will probably solve Your problem.

Those are the rules I added in my fw box : ...

You should not need to open ANY traffic from outside to inside in order to play PS. It is your machine, which initiates connection,  connection tracking on fw should do the rest (make sure that modules ip_conntrack and ipt_conntrack are loaded). Your client does not wait for connections on port 7777 (nor 2347, why did You try to open this one ?... )
If You have very strict rules on your fw (i.e. all traffic from inside to outside is disallowed by default), the only additional rule should be:
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $INTERNALIF -p udp  --dport 7777 -j ACCEPT
(I\'m not sure if $INTERNALIF is proper name, put anything appropriate for internal interface there)
