Which operating system do you have?
Which build for the server?
Which build for the client?
Is there an error message in the server console or client console?
Can you join the server, if you use "connect serverip" (in the client console)?

Type "serverinfo" into the server console. The options "gameversion" and "version" are important.
But if you run it on your computer with build 32, it should be the newest one.

Try to start the server, start paintball, type "connect 127.0.0.1" into the client console.

maybe its set in the config and the link to the paintball2.exe (the link u use to start the server) and you only changed one of the two settings

or you have problems with firewall / port forwarding - you need to forward port 27910 (afaik) to your computer

And maybe you wrote login password and not PaSSWord - afaik its case sensitive
