After reading around some more, I decided to actually verify port 6073, using an external scanner (note: this all worked just fine before yesterdays/todays patches).
Anyways I found that no port scanners will pick up DemiGod when I am hosting a game on port 6073.
Now to sanity check that my firewalls/routers are setup properly, I fired up tomcat on port 6073, and the port scanners are finding it without issue...Now I'm not sure if this means demigod is never openning up the port or what? (I know tomcat is using tcp, not udp..but I know of know 'external port scanners that verify udp explictly).
ug..any chance we can roll back this patch(es)???
