Quake3World

hi all,just bought a router,and i am running a q3 server.it works fine.only prob ive got now is when i look on the all seeing eye or game spy.my it cant see my server.before i had the router i could see the server.Anyone no of my problem.its probally the router settings,but i dont no what to change incase i leave myself wide open.its a netgear dg834


many thanks

i have set the ports to cover from 27950 to 27961 and i cant still cant see my server.but everyone else can.also im on one pc and the server is on another running through a router.i join my server with a 192 and everyone else joins 172???? and as i cant see my server on the net i dont know what ip to tell everyone,because if i loose connection through aol it changes my ip.


if you can understand that lot,your gifted lol

Start Q3, And go to Multiplyer and make sure you Select LAN, and it will find it.

that still only gives me the 192 ip and not the 172 that everyone else see????

hahahahah, well man, the comptuer is witnin your INTERNAL ip's ( IE BEHIND THE ROUTER ) wile everyone else connects to your internet IP.

sorry now im confused :icon23:

i think i know what you mean,but if thats the case the answer is no,as ive changed internal ip to go between 02 and 54 thats why i have chossen an external ip of 99,because its outs the internal ip range

Your server needs to have a static (unchanging) IP address. Then you forward the ports from the router to it.

have done that at the begining,and ip does not change,but i still cant see my server on the allseeing eye or game spy but eveyone else can.???????????????????????????????

aint no-one got any ideas
