RECOMMENDATIONS
===================
* Your server may not even be running; try connecting to it on this computer: run /connect 127.0.0.1:27910 in console
* Your server's port may not be forwarded; make sure you forward your ports for UDP port 27910 (and make sure it's set to the right computer address)
* Your server's port may be firewalled; make sure you allow port 27910 through your firewall


Im really not sure if i did the static ip address right because it never told me just what exactly my static ip address is. is it? if so where does it tell me? Yes my server was running, and the firewall was even off.

omg, what EXACTLY do u mean port forwarding. i did the thing it said to do on the port forwarding website and i typed in the addresses into that properties box it tells me to do, so thats port forwarding??!!

oh, and 1 mor thing, i have the server box thingy open right now and it says paintball 2 initiallized, but before it said that it was sending a ping to the master server twice, is this a good or bad thing lol?

Port forwarding is kinda like opening a door for information to flow in and out of. If the door is shut no information gets out.
if it says "sending heartbeat" that's normal.

Did you try looking up http://www.ipchicken.com/ with the computer you are using for the server? That might be a problem.

yah, i did the ipchicken before but i never said what it said under advanced, it says  Name Address: cpe-72-226-242-243.rochester.res.rr.com 
 Remote Port: 1413 
 Browser: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) 
   
sooo....ya, and when i woke up this morning before school, i saw a norton box opened up and it said an ip address of the same exact ip address except the last numbers were 1026 so im gonna try that in the server checker thing. ill post the results later though.
