Yes I need help getting my server up, I have followed the tutorial and I can open the command box and go into digitalpaintball but my server doesn't show up... I do not have a firewall as I have deleted it for specific reasons, at the end of the tutorial it says make sure you have a Quake2 port (if you have a router) to 2910 or whatever the port was, so I thought that might be the problem so I googled some information and I went through another tutorial on how to change my router ports, so I did that and added the Quake21 port (as well as 22 because the guide said Quake needed it) So after that I thought for sure it would show up but to my surprise it did not, if anyone has had this problem or know how to fix it please help me.

Is the public cvar set to 1? In the server window, it should say something along the lines of:

Sending heartbeat to...
Success.

As a matter of fact I took a screen shot for you.

Ok, your ip shows up on http://dpball.com/serverlist.php -- at least, it's the same IP that shows up on the forums. It should be on the list unless there's a router and/or firewall blocking connections.

akonnyoungjesus · « **Reply #4 on:** January 10, 2006, 07:28:45 PM »

What should I do then?

akonnyoungjesus · « **Reply #5 on:** January 10, 2006, 07:31:46 PM »

And another screen shot of my firewall > virtual server stuff.

The machine you're running the server on is 192.168.2.1?

lekky · « **Reply #7 on:** January 10, 2006, 08:27:45 PM »

i was gonna say check that, the other ports u have open are at 192.168.2.4

you need to make sure the ports are open on your firewall too

edit: just read about no firewall

I switched them from .1 to .4 and it still doesn't work, what else should I try?

jitspoe · « **Reply #10 on:** January 11, 2006, 04:55:53 PM »

Do you know for certain that's actually the IP of the machine you're running the server on? If you've got a DHCP server, the IP's can change. If you're able to, referring to the machine by its name is usually more stable.

lekky · « **Reply #11 on:** January 11, 2006, 05:08:16 PM »

if you're on a network, find out the address of the machine you are running the server on.

start menu > Run > type "cmd" > press enter > in box type "ipconfig"

then see what it says is your ip address...should be 192.168.2."something"

whatever that "something" is use that number for the port unblocking

you usually see your own server as blacked out on htelsit, doesn't mean everyone else does too.

how do i find ips to ban people

also how do i password a server

M3YGG (PbDc) · « **Reply #17 on:** January 14, 2006, 02:35:52 PM »

there are two posts on this board, one called 'wall of shame - ips to ban' and the other 'ip to ban 2' i think

to ban an ip first login,

then in the console type

'addip <ip> <ip>' then hit enter
then type 'writeip'

this will create a file called listip.cfg in the pball folder, move this to the configs folder and in the server.cfg file type 'exec pball/configs/listip.cfg' i might be wrong

to password protect a server login then type in the console

'cvar_set password <password goes here>'

to remove a password type in the console

'cvar_set password unset'

hope that helps
