...or can i use my home pc and game on it at the same time.

Yes, you can. Just follow the steps...

I Have Updated And Made A mw2 Server but cant connect to it on wired or wireless connection when trying to connect to it it does not pick up the server

port forward/use another port

i think i know a fix to the server list issues you need to make sure you set both boxes in your lan users in your router firewall to you ipv4 address say your ipv4 address is 192.168.0.4 set both the boxes in your lan users

to 192.168.0.4

Hi there, first of all,

 

I ran over all the steps,

 

Had no problems, and it seems to work for me.

 

I've tried connecting to my internal IP (Yes I've portforwarded the 28961), And both my hamachi IP, and they both get me into my server.

 

Thing is, when a friend tries to join, he get's attempts and gets thrown out of the game?

He's also in my hamachi room, so that's not it, and we've also tried connecting to my internet/external IP without hamachi, any ideas?

Is he adding the port?

Okay after adding the port, everything worked out well.

My bad, was a stupid question, sorry for the waste

 

But thanks!

Ah, right, sorry but i do have one more question,

The console doesn't give me the admin rights to open a console for certain things like spawning bots etc when I've loaded the mod (Gee) I believe it is.

 

It loads everything up, but I just can't open the in-game console anymore as it doesn't look at me as the admin.

 

Even though my server.cfg says name = Shootmeplx.

 

Any idea?

There is no in game admin, I don't know what you mean

You can set an rcon password and then use /rcon login to sign in

You might be better off going to the person that created the mod and ask for help there

And no problem, feel free to ask any questions

Use , . ! ? etc next time

Hey,

 

I got my own server setup locally and it runs smoothly when i use console to connect. I have a few issues that i can't figure out.

 

Problem 1 - I can't see my server in server list, i have checked and rechecked my port forwarding through my rooter to my PC's IP address and that all looks good but I still don't see my server in any of the lists and i have checked filters and turned them all to yes to show everything and still nothing. This is a strange problem because i do see other people trying to connect so they must be finding my server some how. Problems 2 & 3 are now solved but this problem still remains

 

Problem 2 - When i connect via console it loads the game but during the loading screen it does a download of something and then puts me into the game, i've not noticed this on any other servers and it repeats this download every time i load the game, i thought it might be DLC but i set my server to 1 map in the rotation and forced it to only load 1 map and even so it still does this download thing on the loading screen when i connect. Solved this now, I had an images.iwd and sounds.iwd in my mod folder and it was downloading that, i removed them and it now loads the game without needing to download anything

 

Problem 3 - Other people can't connect, i see them join the lobby as spectators and i also see logs in the server log files to show other people trying to connect but they sit idle in waiting for a few minutes and eventually get disconnected or give up waiting i presume. I have tried to compare my successful log when I connect to a failed log when someone else trys to connect but i can't figure out why it fails. here are copies of the logs for when i connect and when someone else tried to connect. Solved this now, this was linked with problem one and people we're not waiting for the downloads of those files and after removing them people were connecting, good times

 

When i connect server log shows

In both logs they look identical to the point where it says "Received packet 0 of stats data from clientNum 0" ect obviously the IP's are different but the log is the same. After this point in my log i notice i get sent to download something but in the other person log they hit an error "0:[KsA]DODE_230 EXE_DISCONNECTED"

 

This is with a fresh server config file and i would rate my knowledge of server type code at around 7 out of 10 so I'm not a complete novice so have checked some of the basic stuff and rebuilt the config multipletimes, i have ran a server without mods and with mods and get the same issues, i port forwarded correctly, i have turned off my windows firewall and anti virus still nothing.

 

I tried to connect a second PC on my network to the server and it connected fine but it took about 2 minutes to load what ever that download bit is on the loading screen. I managed to connect using the console from my second computer putting the IP and port of my computer with the server on it and it worked fine. I'm wondering if the issue that people cant connect is related to this download thing i.e. they sit on the loading screen waiting ages for the download as 2mins on my 1gb network is pretty slow for a download and i presume over the internet it would be even slower if its downloading from my PC with a crappy 20kb upload speed, so i think to sum this one up if we solve the download mystery on the loading screen what it is and why its doing it we might solve the connection problem as well. Or maybe the logs i have posted above will tell a different story to someone who understands these log reports a bit better than me.

 

Apologies for the wall of text, if i manage to get this all working i'm moving it to a VPS and plan to run multiple dedicated servers but want to make sure i can get it all working first.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who read all this and has any help to offer

in the server browser reset your filters by clicking reset.

 

if others can see it and not you my guess is that you got dont display empty as a filter so reset them all just to be safe.

Hey,

Problem 1 - I can't see my server in server list, i have checked and rechecked my port forwarding through my rooter to my PC's IP address and that all looks good but I still don't see my server in any of the lists and i have checked filters and turned them all to yes to show everything and still nothing. This is a strange problem because i do see other people trying to connect so they must be finding my server some how. Problems 2 & 3 are now solved but this problem still remains

No idea why this happens, you're just unlucky

Try going to a friends house and see if it works there

Might just be because you're on the LAN or something

It happens to loads of people, don't worry about it

Hey thanks for getting back to me, yeah pretty much spent the day playing with different stuff yesterday and finally moving it to a dedicated server now so hopefully once its moved ill be able to see it on the server list as normal as it does seem isolated to lan only pc's which can't see the server in the list as plenty of other people are joining my server

Hello everyone,

i have a little problem

i run my server, it works and my friends can join with hamachi ip but when they try to join with server browser they can't join it keep settings up game..

my servers name is : ^5Rayleigh's ^7server

and my ip address : 2.89.2.53:28960

try to join and see what i mean

it will be online

I Have Updated And Made A mw2 Server but cant connect to it on wired or wireless connection when trying to connect to it it does not pick up the server

...

open cmd (start, run, cmd)

Then type in "ipconfig"

Look for ipv4 on a the gateway 192.168.0/1.x

That is the IP you use to connect

Else google "what is my ip"

As long as it's portforwarded, the latter will work

the port isn't forwarded and no one wants to use hamachi which is why you're having problems

stop using hamachi and portforward
