Server Trouble

[theSYNDIKATE]

I've followed this as a guide:

http://digitalpaint.planetquake.gamespy.com/docs/server_guide_win32.html

And forwarded my ports for my specific router with this:

http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/Quake_2.htm

After completing all instructions and forwarding my ports and allowing the DP2 port 27910 (UDP) on my firewall, the server still does not show up on the server list (to other players.)

I've used this troubleshooter:

http://digitalpaint.therisenrealm.com/tools/servertroubleshooter

And it hasn't helped

Any Ideas?

What does the troubleshooter say?

RECOMMENDATIONS
===================
* The wrong master servers may be set; open your server configuration file, delete all the lines starting with setmaster, and add setmaster dplogin.com master0.gamespy.com (then restart your server)

I've followed the recommendation but for some reason the server displays in gray and I cannot connect to it myself while running the server.

Okay everything seems to be working now.

You have to give it a few minutes to populate the server list.

The key is to look for an acknowledgment for the heartbeat.

btw - thanks for following through on the stickies.
