I own a couple of servers too therefore I can give you some help

Get Rcon Unlitmated it will let you send commands to your server remotely.  The command list can be found on DP resources.  Sorry I do not have a link for either but I know they are in one of my old threads.

Also your server will need to send a "heartbeat" to the master server, the server browser.  Once it sends a heartbeat it can be seen by everyone. This takes about 5 mins unless you use Rcon and send the heartbeat command.

These are just a few tips to keep in mind when running a home server.

You can send the heartbeat command from within the console.

yeah I just did not know you had to type heartbeat in the black box, I thought it was in the console.

When you close out the black box it shuts down your server...therefore you will need to keep the box open as long as you want your server up.

Also just type heartbeat in the black box, not the console, to get the command to work

Finally, Please dont double post just edit your last one to include what you want to say.

Well you can ask people if they can see it, sometimes if you can see it then everyone can.  Also, there is a tool that will help indenify whats wrong with your server I actually have the link this time.

I did the test and the results came in like this> Checking if 142.162.185.179:27910 can be connected to...
>    Writing to socket: '\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFstatus\n'
>    Attempting to read, 3 second timeout...
>    Error: Read operation timed out, port is firewalled? data packet lost in transit?
> Failed to connect to server!
> Checking server list...
> Getting server list from http://dplogin.com/serverlist.php
> No entries found on the server list
