I tried starting up like that just now, it still says "Creating" for status. I also made absolutely sure that the ports are unblocked, and the server still says "Creating". ;( Edit: yes the servername is shown in the browser. This is shown in the console window: 15:17:22 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.126) 15:17:22 Host identity created. 15:17:58 Player zunnie connecting. 15:17:58 Player zunnie connected (id=MYidHere). 15:17:59 BattlEye Server: Player #0 zunnie (217.121.*.*:2304) connected 15:17:59 BattlEye Server: Player #0 zunnie - GUID: myGUIDhere (unverified) 15:17:59 BattlEye Server: Verified GUID (myGUIDhere) of player #0 zunnie 15:18:03 Player zunnie disconnected.

I'll reply my problem here, i haven't heared back from lars yet. =============================================== Hello everyone, i seem to have a problem running a Coop server for ArmA2... I've uploaded my whole steam installation of ArmA2 to the serverpc. I created a basic.cfg and a server.cfg which reside in the ArmA2 server main folder (where the .exe to start server is at). The ArmA2Server.exe i acquired through the Steam Tools tab and uploaded that as well. Further i created a Profiles folder where the server profile is stored. Whenever i startup the server the console window pops up and everything. But when i go to Multiplayer in ArmA2 and look for the server it is in status "Creating" and when i join it it says "Wait for Host"?? Here are my configs: startserver.bat batch: start ArmA2Server.exe -server -ip=64.31.59.50 -port=2302 -cfg=basic.cfg -config=server.cfg -BEpath=BattlEye -profiles=Profiles basic.cfg contents: language="English"; adapter=-1; 3D_Performance=1; Resolution_W=800; Resolution_H=600; Resolution_Bpp=32; MaxMsgSend=128; MaxSizeGuaranteed=512; MaxSizeNonguaranteed=256; MinBandwidth=131072; MaxBandwidth=99999999; MinErrorToSend=0.001; MinErrorToSendNear=0.0099999998; Windowed=1; server.cfg contents: // GLOBAL SETTINGS hostname = "MultiPlayerForums.com Coop"; // The name of the server that shall be displayed in the public server list password = ""; // Password for joining, eg connecting to the server passwordAdmin = "HIDDEN"; // Password to become server admin.

Do you guys spot any errors? Thanks for your time :) Greetz zunnie

Hey larsiano, i will be sending you a personal message about setting up a server if i can. BTW: Does anyone have some really detailed setup guide with example files perhaps? Thanks.
