[DevO]

well i cant get the server online ... i opened ports

3450 => TCP/UDP
2350 => TCP/UDP
and
5000 => TCP/UDP

Added my WAN IP as force ip address

client port 0

and i cant see it to wan server lists .. what else.

[UKFC»ACE]

Did you actually check to see if the ports are open? Did you open on router AND on any other firewall you might have like windows firewall etc.

Hi, I know this may seem like a stupid question but i have been trying to set up a dedicated server for ages and i have finally managed to with the help of server mania.

When I turn off my computor the dedicated server shuts down. I am not sure if this is what it is supposed to do or if there is a way to fix this problem.

This probably is a stupid question but i am quite new to this.

"Doctor, when I hit my knee here, it hurts."
"Well, then don't hit it."

In other words, don't turn off your computer if you want to keep running something (anything) on it.

that is not the point becuase I was asking if there is a way to keep the server running when i turn my computor off because i do not like to leave it on.

If not will it still work if i keep my wireless belking dongle running. If so is there a way to keep the dongle going when i turn my computor off?

Can u make a [Tutorial] for noobs because i am unbelievably lost right now....

I think that the GameMode value in the matchsettings file dos not match the maps type.

Ie: maps are stunts but the GameMode is not 4 (Stunts), or GameMode is 4 but maps are not of Stunts type, or same thing for Laps mode (3) and not multilap maps.
