Title: nobody can see my server!
Post by: shofixti on June 27, 2006, 04:27:23 PM

im having a bit of trouble hosting a server, i can host fine on LAN, but nobody can see my game over the internet.

i have a router and a firewall, so there's probaly some trouble there.
soooo, im guessing i need to open some ports somewhere, or is there something else i need to do?

help!

Forward ports, use the "Search" button on these forums to dig up info on how to do it, it has already been covered many times.

Go to http://ipchicken.com (http://ipchicken.com), that number it shows is your IP, copy it.
go to http://dpball.com/serverlist.php (http://dpball.com/serverlist.php) and http://digitalpaint.planetquake.gamespy.com/serverlist.php (http://digitalpaint.planetquake.gamespy.com/serverlist.php)
look for it on there, if its on either, then it worked.

It's not on the list at all?  Make sure you set public to 1 from the command line:

paintball2 +set public 1 +set dedicated 1 +map <mapname>
