Dedicated server on gamespy

Sw@Tm@n · **Dedicated server on gamespy -** 11-12-2002, 08:22 AM

I'm trying to make a dedicated server but it doesnt show up on gamespy. I can do ip join though. Can anyone help me.

P.S.: yes, i did add the sv_gamespy "1" to my server.cfg

Are you running this server from behind a hardware router? If so you will need to open all the required ports.

Please see the moh faq at the top of this forum for the link to the port numbers

NO, im running it on a computer with 2 network cards with 1 connected directly to the internet and the other to a hub. im using the dedicated 2 option becuz i readed somewhere that 1 is for lan and 2 is for internet. But that still doesnt help

If you using ISC built into XP or Win9x, This is not going to work, You need to be able to forward all your ports to the other computer.

The easiest way is to
1) get a hardware router and setup the server in the DMZ
2) use the box directly connected to the Internet.

The computer that i run the server on is directly connected to the internet through an adsl modem. I do not run it from a computer that isnt directly connected with the internet but i play on it. And how can i forward ports and open ports?

If your not running a router and your connected directly to the modem. Then you do not need to worry about forwarding any ports.

Make sure you do use the
[code:d35f1]+set net_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [/code:d35f1]
in your shortcut . replace the x's with your public IP address. This will tell MOH what IP address or nic to use.

Sw@Tm@n · 11-13-2002, 08:17 AM

Ok, thanks mate. Can i maybe modify this proces so it finds the ip automatically becuz my adsl connection has an dynamic ip and i have to change the adress each time.

rudedog · 11-13-2002, 08:36 AM

No, even if you setup a ddns account ( dynamic domain name server ) to use with your changing IP address, you still need to change it within the server.cfg or shortcut.

Now if you disable your second nic every time you use your server, then you do not need to worry about the net_ip command.

Sw@Tm@n · 11-13-2002, 08:38 AM

second nic? what's a second nic?

ethernet card. I think.

Sw@Tm@n · 11-13-2002, 08:42 AM

lol, cant do that becuz i cant play on the server myself then becuz i play on the second computer. Well, i'll change the ip each time then, it's just 5 seconds of work and can anyone look for me that it appears on gamespy. It should be [1st-RMC] Public Clan Server {CKR} . But not now but in 30 minutes or something becuz first i gonna check everything myself.

Sw@Tm@n · 11-13-2002, 08:44 AM

Oh yeah, is there any way to minimize the server to the systray?

Sindonesia · 11-13-2002, 08:57 AM

You can try alt+enter or alt+tab, it works for some but not me for some reason.

Sw@Tm@n · 11-13-2002, 08:59 AM

thanks rudedog, its up and running and totally visable in gamespy. That ip thing did it. Thanks bro.
