hi all here is my prob. i can set up a multiplayer server on a non dedicated option and tick the box for gamespy and it runs fine people can see it and join although i cant see it on my other lan machine on the gamespy network i run behind a router and firewall but have opened up the required port to the dedicated machine. If i run a dedicated server no one seems to join i have tried using mohaa dedicated server launcher as well. here is my launcher console script please help im new to server setups thanx.

Belly,

I'm not too sure why you're not showing up on Gamespy, but I see a small error I think.
Concerning the fact that this is displayed TWICE:

It would seem that you have a starting map and a maxclients set in BOTH your command line and your config file, when it should only be in one or the other.
I don't think this is causing your GAMESPY problem, but it's something that you should fix anyway.

Couple things to also check -
make sure your config has :

sv_gamespy 1 (0 = off)
sv_maxping xxx
(make sure the MAXPING setting is not TOO low, this will prevent people from connecting)

Other than that, you mentioned a router and firewall situation, chances are the problem lies in that area, some have mentioned having to run in DMZ mode. I don't run a router, I only had to open port 12203 on my firewall and all was fine. There is some documentation on routers and firewalls, but I don't have the link off hand. I think some of the ports to be concerned are 12201, 12202, 12203, 12210, 12230. There may be more.

thanx m8 will change the command line!

still not showing on the net have enabled DMZ on the router for the host pc so all its ports are visible and unefected by the firewall hel plz!!!!!!!
