My bro has made a sever on his computer and it worked. But when I did the same on my computer with a different port it didn't work. In the server.cfg file when i put 'set port 27959' it didn't come up for anyone and when i removed 'set port 27959' it only came up for me and my bro. Any ideas on what the problem could be?
The port is 27959
and here is the server.cfg:
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------

set hostname "*TJT*JBR Jump Training1"

it is because of the port forwarding.
ask ur brother, he should know how to do that
-
I have port forwarded it, but it still doesn't work :( It doesn't make any sense!
-
You did the port forwarding wrong.
-
Well, I can answer the part about why setting the port to 27959 caused it to not show up any more for you and your bro. It was showing up on the local network, which searches LAN computers for servers on the default port. It doesn't search on port 27959.
As for not showing up for anybody else, it's probably a matter of setting the port forwarding on your router to correctly forward to the machine running the server, as others have suggested.
-
but I did exactly what my bro did to port forward and his worked and mine doesn't, he even did it for me and it still didn't work. Can you only port forward like for one computer?

You should be able to port forward to different computers. Make sure you're using the correct IP address for your computer. It's also possible that your computer is blocking connections with a software firewall or virus scanner or something.

setmaster dplogin.com master0.gamespy.com
I believe you need a space between "master 0.gamespy.com"
Also, I had a little trouble with my servers back in the day. Sometimes they'd stop showing up so I can to use rcon to set the masters again.
-
No, master0.gamespy.com is the name for the gamespy master server list. It'll make the server show up on quake server browsers. dplogin.com is the only one necessary for it to show up on the paintball2 server browser.
In the dedicated server window, you should get some kind of response from the dplogin.com server. I don't remember what it is offhand.
We need to get that troubleshooter that sk89q put together back online to help diagnose these issues.

My bad, it's been forever since I had servers.

Same thing has actually happened to me, Superman even checked my port forwards via teamviewer and he said he didn't know what was wrong.
-
Do you have a wired or wireless connection? DP servers very rarely work over wireless.

I think you were using wireless weren't you?
-
nope. Port forwarding just hates me.
-
i think you meant to have"set dedicated 1"(without the commas) in the general server info.
