Can't see my ded server inthe internet join lobby

[baff 0]

i can however see it on the lan, and also i can connect to it via my internet ip address of 80.1.206.187

i turned zonelarm off completely and it still didn't show.

can't get it to show up on all seeing eye either.

i feel it must be something simple like the server reporting port. but i can't spot my error.......

any ideas, hints or solutions please?

You using the windows intenet connection firewall?

What kind of router are you using?

thanx for the prompt reply.

i am not using the inbuilt winxp firewall.

and the computer is connected directly to the internet via a cable modem.

check your DNS and your fully qualified domain name

problem is that IP 80.1.206.187 is not resolved for any hostname - and this is necesary (for 99%)

if u have any domain, than assign some secondary level domain name to this address like 80.1.206.187 - ofpserver.myowndomain.com

or contact your provider and ask for a hostname in his domain

Easy to understand ? I hope so.

The reporting port is serverport+1, ie when your server runs on 2302 then your reporting port is 2303. Both are UDP.

You should have a line like<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

reportingIP="master.gamespy.com";

in your server.cfg, which you load with a command line parameter like -config=server.cfg.
