If you are starting a game just by hitting the Start New Game button then the password will not work. That is considered a LAN game. For your password to work in your LAN type exec server.cfg (or whatever the name of your server config is) in the console.

If you want to setup a dedicated (internet) server then check this guide (http://digitalpaint.planetquake.gamespy.com/docs/server_guide_win32.html) out.

I know that is not LAN but everything depends on what type of server you are running.

First off don't double or triple post, modify your last post instead.

Second I was telling you about a LAN because I didn't know if you were running a LAN or dedicated server.

Third there is no server like that online. So you need to check and make sure that you ports are forwarded and that a firewall is not blocking the connection.

Then check your firewall like I said already.

No you didn't and KiLo was just trying to help you.

And thank you Spook.

I kind of got tired of dealing with someone that is as uncooperative as [bd]imalamp.

If you followed the guide you would have already done this.

But http://www.portforward.com will help you. That forward your router ports.

Also for the third time you also need to forward the ports on your firewall.
