Need help with running a UT server

[Robbo]

Hello all,

Hopefully someone can help me here, I have been trying to run a gameserver (just for a few of my clanmates to practise on) What happens is I start a new multiplayer game & I can see it advertised in the server listings no probs at all, but when someone tries to connect the server dosent respond & just stops running at my end ?
Playing the game I have no probs on other servers(except the damn BT adsl ping spikes & packet loss but of course thats another prob in itself)

Can someone pls help ?

Im using WinME, 750 Athlon, 256mb, ADSL so as you can see I should have no probs running a small UT gameserver.

Thanx for any help offered.

I'm not sure about this (not sure at all in fact) but I heard rumours that the BT adsl was going to be firewalled to hell and back, just so that people can't run servers on it.

I don't know much about UT servers, but make sure you set the multihome= line on the command line if you're on ADSL and a local network. I've got a feeling you need to enable the master uplink stuff too.

Hop into #unrealfortress on quakenet if you still need help, there are normally some server admins around in there.
