problem with dedicated windows server

[freeman23 0]

Hi,

Im trying to host OFP 1.96 on my Notebook.

P4 3000MHZ

512 MB DDR Ram

Enough free disk space

Windows XP

I'm using a router and i have forwarded the necessary ports.

I can see the Server on the Sockets list but i can't connect to the server.

where is my mistake?

thx in advance

any firewall running, or another tool which denies access to the server?!

[freeman23 0]

nope, nothing running

hopefully no password was set in the config file ?! it sounds a bit strange, never heard about something like that do you get any message if you try to connect?

[freeman23 0]

no, theres no password set.

im getting the ,,Creating Client" message and then ,,Connection failed".

What ports have you forwarded for the server?

2302, 2303, and all the gamespy ports.

sounds real strange! i have just forwarded the 2 needed ofp ports (so not the gamespyports) and i don't report my ip to gamespy. however, the server at home is working fine and is listed on the ingamebrowser and the allseeingeye...

which network protoc. did you have forwarded? udp and/or tcp?

[freeman23 0]

both

Where are you trying to connect to it from?

Internally on your LAN? or from outside via the internet?

Sounds more like the ded server wasn't created properly (i.e. some files are missing or incorrect versions maybe)

Did you install the ded server according to the instructions?

I had similar issue way way way back on v1.91 or earlier ... turns out I had missed copying some files over. Server launched but could not start a game.

via internet..ill try to reinstall it..

2302, 2303, and all the gamespy ports.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but i find this better than making new one.

I have similiar problem, my servers shows up only in my lan list. But when i give my hostname to other people they can connect like normally. So im asking, what are those gamespy ports?
