G-MAN :(

I think you have to disable your firewall before it will show up on Gamespy. Sorry that is all I can think of for now.

if you have any sort of firewall at all, your game will not show up. This is good if you want to test a multiplayer map out for hiding spots or whatever without worrying about anyone ese shooting at you or finding the spots as well.

What about your ports? mmmmmmmm, ports

If he didnt know that a firewall wouldnt weork,.. then how would he know about ports?

i have the same problem and it is firewall

firewall seems to be the number one answer but i would reccomend that u choose gamespy. it works all the time for me if i want to set up a game or have ur friends set up the game and u join.

just give the 56k guy u'r ip address and tell him to connect to that .... problem solved :o

yeah just give him your IP address...

mmmmmmmmm
 

THANKS TO ALL AGAIN,TURNED THE FIRE WALL OFF BUT FEEL A BIT UNEASY ABOUT THAT.TRIED THE IP THING BUT APPARENTLY IT CHANGES AS YOU GO OR SOMETHING,TO DO WITH ADSL.PORTS COOL,BIG WATERY PLACES FOR BOATS YEAH,HAVENT A CLUE ABOUT THEM.
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISDN,DSL,ADSL AND TI?
THE SIGHT LOOKS SHIT HOT,A REAL SHOCKER WHEN IT OPENED.THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD PUT A GEFORCE 4 IN MY PC WITHOUT ME KNOWING.
GIVEN UP ON HOSTING MY OWN GAME,GOING TO PLAY ON YOUS INSTEAD SO SEE YA ALL SOON AND AGAIN MANY THANKS.G_MAN

I leave my firewall running and my server still shows up on gamespy.

Firewall....wots that then.....pah, virus's are cool, open up all your ports, spam as many forums and chat proggies as you can with meaningless crap, delete Norton and watch windows disappear. The ultimate online multiplayer experience.

It does say, firewall MAY not allow you to host

CAN YOU PLEASE STOP THE FUCKING YELLING?
