Server Not Connected

edited June 2010 in Server Support
Server is DMZ, set to 28001, using the bind to my ip address in serverprefs.cs
Still cannot connect, wtf - help!

using modified Classic Dedicated bat file that was in the install.
Pointing directly to -serverprefs D:\,,,,\,,,\serverprefs.cs

What else could it be?

It showed up in th master list 1x and hasn't shown up since.

Edit: Is it best practice to run the server on default port?
UDP 28000 ? Open, DMZ set. Still no go.

  • Hi
    What router do you have? Unfortunately, many consumer routers realy don't do dmz, it's a fake dmz, meaning not all traffic is allowed to or from the host in the dmz.
  • i actually just got it to work, i found some flaws in the serverprefs.cs and the location therof.

    I thought i was using autoexec\serverprefs.cs
    When it should have been prefs\serverprefs.cs

    CPL's Ren Server is now online.
    Now I need to step backwards, and non-dmz the host and strictly leave port 28001 open to the internal ip (UDP).
  • good deal!

    What happened to your server? Did you change your mind?
  • Yeah, I actually wanted to play a couple days ago, but the server wasn't up!

    you saying it showed up once leads me to believe your local IP is dynamically changing over a set period of time, ensure that your router's firewall settings match your local IP.
