Help starting my server

[wafflez205]

i've tried every command and i cant get my server on the public sever list. it makes me so confused

It makes me confused that you cant even use the search function or at least READ the topics in teh server forum to look at what others are doing.  See ya in 2

Well um....  Try the trouble shooter.  Have you configured a router, firewall, or anything else?  Try typing "setmaster dplogin.com" in the console box.

wafflez, there are enough 'at home' servers.  Buy a slot of a server or don't run one at all.  There is no need to run a server off your home computer that is just laggy and has jump maps on it.

[wafflez205]

i suck at jumping so it would be used for playing with friends. and i did search and nothing worked so next time ask why it seems i didnt search

[KnacK]

If you would have searched, you would have gone FIRST to teh server troubleshooter and posted your results.

You think we're all mind readers here and can fix your problem with essentially no information?

[wafflez205]

knack you have scared me in different ways and it wouldnt suprise me if you could read minds. my tech support sense is tingleing

[Cameron]

Well you havn't shown us anything about your server so READ the stickied topic about what you have to post when you are doing this thing.

[wafflez205]

this is what happned with the trouble shooter and yes this is my ip.
An error has ocurred:
You entered a reserved IP address.

If you have problems starting a server, running a server, your friends can't connect to your server, or your server does not show up on the server list, answer the following questions and post the answers. 


FAILING TO DO THIS OR POSTING THAT YOU "SEARCHED THE FORUMS AND COULDN'T FIND A SOLUTION" WILL GET YOUR POST REMOVED.

1. Public ip address and port used for server.

2. Visit the server troubleshooter here and post your results

3. If you are making a stand alone server, post your startup command line and a copy of your config file with the passwords erased.

4. If this is a home server, make sure you know how to forward the port that your server uses from the WAN side of your router to the LAN side of your router. If you have questions on how to do this, post screen shots of your router config page showing the port forwarding setup.

will show that you are genuinely interested in getting your server working and not just picking dust bunnies out of your belly button expecting others to do all the work for you.

This is sooo typical..
I should have immediately removed this thread as what you posted,

didn't seem like you wanted help.

I have laid out a very detailed checklist, for lack of a better term, that all you would do is answer the questions and post a few screen shots.

But no.

It's too much work.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD KID.

Life isn't going to get any easier for you.
