Why doesn't my server show up in the in game browser???

There could be many reasons for that other than the master server not reporting your server to the in-game browser. Also make sure you're not running a Firewall.

 

BTW, last time I checked searching was disabled on the forums, but I guess that wouldn't stop you from browsing the topics.

Make sure you also have them check in GameSpy or ASE. The in-game browser is limited on the number of servers it will display while the others are not. If it doesn't show in the outside lists, either then there might be some things you can try. The list of things varies and depends on if you are connected through a firewall/router, if you have multiple ips on the same box, etc.

So what are the things I can try? My server is up and my buddy can connect directly, but I don't show up in the master lists (ravensoft or ASE). The ded. server console is "Sending heartbeat to masterjk2.ravensoft.com" like a champ but it never shows up. Last night I even unhooked the router and let the server run by itself for 2 hours, nobody joined.

 

Could a couple of you guys try and join just to confirm in my mind that this thing is accessible via the internet? sneak.dyndns.org

 

I'd really appreciate any feedback/suggestions about the server issues!

 

Thanks,

Sneak

After you unhooked the router and let it run did you re-check ASE? In another thread, someone reported that they added the following to their command line:

 

+set no_udp "0" +set no_ipx "1"

 

...and that seemed to do the trick. Make sure they are before your +exec server.cfg. If you didn't check ASE after pulling your router, you might want to try again and check it after a short bit. At least then you could isolate if it's a router setting or not.
