I dont think its up.

make sure you dont have a router or firewall blocking access to port 27910 and that your ports are forwarded correctly.

DP Resource Public Server Troubleshooter
Specified server information: 207.6.86.82:27910
RCON password provided? no
Run at Mon, 07 Jan 2008 02:15:36 +0000

TEST PROCESS
===================
> Checking if 207.6.86.82:27910 can be connected to...
>    Writing to socket: '\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFstatus\n'
>    Attempting to read, 3 second timeout...
>    OK: Strings 'Digital Paint' and/or 'DPPB2' found in server output (ping: 47ms)
> Using a non-default server hostname.
> Connection SUCCESSFUL! Port forwarding and firewall settings correct.
> Checking server list...
> Getting server list from http://dplogin.com/serverlist.php
> No entries found on the server list
> No RCON password provided... can't check settings.

RECOMMENDATIONS
===================
* Your server may be private; set 'public' to '1' for your server and then restart your server
* The wrong master servers may be set; open your server configuration file, delete all the lines starting with setmaster, and add setmaster dplogin.com master0.gamespy.com (then restart your server)
* Enter your RCON password for extended troubleshooting solutions (very recommended)
this is what it says

* make sure that '+set public 1' is in your startup comamnd line, and restart your server

The wrong master servers may be set; open your server configuration file, delete all the lines starting with setmaster, and add setmaster dplogin.com master0.gamespy.com (then restart your server)

ok...

How are you starting your server?

Are you going into the menu system and using Start Game?
Title: Re: my server
Post by: mrfoods on January 06, 2008, 09:35:39 PM

Title: Re: my server
Post by: KnacK on January 06, 2008, 10:59:01 PM
Doing that will not show your server in the server list.

Most likely C:\Game\Paintball2\pball\configs

run the following in a dos box/command prompt/batch file:

paintball2.exe +set dedicated 1 +set public 1 +set maxclients 16 +exec server.cfg +map midnight

Use that to start your game.

edit server.cfg to suite your needs
