Help with the servers.........

Jim008 · 12-25-2001, 08:36 AM

Why is it that nobody can find my server on gamespy? I tried to get a game with my friends and none of them can find me. i went into "western front" and started the game with team play and waited and waited. I pressed alt-tab and tried looking for my server on gamespy and couldn't find it. What am i doing wrong? Can anyone help me?

Have you tried looking for it in the different "rooms" for some odd reason my server is showing up in another "room" ?

i press the refresh button all the time but it still doesn't show up.... and my friends looked in every room and couldn't find anything. One time i waited about 20 minutes and nobody went on my server.... maybe i should just redownload the demo and install it again.

I'm from Long Island, anyway i reinstalled and it still didn't really work.

I have a cable connection and my computer isn't on a network except the internet. Help!

I know theres a gamespy checkbox in the server settings when you start a server from within the game, perhaps yours is unchekced?

What connection are you on??

This might be the same as in quake 3 arena. You make a game and you might have to wait up to 2 hours for it too be listed!

I DONT understand why you dont get a list of servers. Are you on a LAN???

BTW...What part of N.Y you live?

do you have a adsl or maybe a firewall

and if you are running winxp there is a firewall option you have to untjeck
that worked for me

As far as I know once you start an Internet game you should show up on G-spy arcade. Check every room maybe it showed up on the Russian Front

Yes you can...it is all about upload.Each player usually requires about 30-40kbs of bandwith.
With a 1500kbs/384kbs<--upload speed.. ADSL connection you may be able to run a 8-10 player server

Ditch Lamespy.
I've used it but gone over to Allseeing Eye instead, not so bloated and more functional. Try it.
