Log looks fine.

This is a private server on your home pc? or is this in a datacenter somewhere?

So by private you mean "cracked" server? Good luck with that.

Yes, it is a private server on my home pc with router. On router I have got open ports 28000,28010 and 28960.

This is not that type of forum. I would normally recommend that you open a trouble ticket with support, but since you are hosting this box from home, it's hard for any of us to see how this topic is relevant to this forum. If anything, the concept of asking us forum members (who pay tens of thousands of dollars per year in software license fees) about cracked software is somewhat of an uncomfortable situation for us.

I won't help anyone running a game server from home because of the 1 million issue that could hinder it. Get a server and then I can assist you.

He is probably using DHCP and not forwarding to the proper internal address plus software firewalls.

Anyways, as others have said:
You need either the correct networking equipment (corporate grade) for your home or the most recommended, a dedicated server.
And make sure it is legal while you are at it.

Well said. The best way (IMHO) would be to get two ISP's, one cable, one dsl and run them through a cisco box for redundancy. That way all the ports are forwarded through 'cause there's no router.

Well, whatev.
