Hi, when you say working normally are players joining it?
On the Nat test page does it show as connected?

I saw Smith's server and it should be ok.
I saw it in my GSA list with more players playin` (Smith too ) , so problem should be fixed ??:D




BTW .... i need help too ... my server is (usualy) nice with pings of 70-80 but sometimes pings jump at +4000 .
I'd like to know ... why and what can I do about this problen ?

The "ping/latency" of your server depends on several factors;
1. You connection to the internet (is it ISDN/Cable?), is it a stable provider with a good connection all the time? And on some hours when a lot of people in your neighbourhood use their PC on the internet the performance can slow down too.
2. The configuration of your PC (most important factors are CPU speed and internal Memory, maybe add) also if your PC has been on for some hours it can be wise to restart it before you open a server and also when a server has been online for a while restart your PC if possible)
3. If you play in it the ping can also rise
4. If too much ppl join the server and especially when some are between them with very high/bad pings.

oooh high pings... lots of things can cause that. As you probably know they get high when the server is having problems transferring and receiving data.

First thing is try and limit the amount of players you have to something that your connection and PC can handle.
Second thing, when your running a server don't run any other programmes at the same time or at least cut it down to just things that are important. Ideally it should be just a server and a Firewall running.

Sometimes there are things that will be outside of your control, like if your ISP has bottlenecks and starts to limit the connection that you normally have.

Well..in past (some months ago) my PC and connection could handle 20 persons very easy . Now it's great if it can handle 8 .

Well , when i open my server i don't run other programmes , just my music . I don't think i should close my music when i host because i never did that .

Well , here is a problem ..i am on Cable and my neighbourhoods try to use my ip .... i think that's why my server has sometimes pings of +4000 and after .. 30-40 seconds 'come back' at normal pings...

er... my problem aint fixed, i joined my server trough NF.

Hello.
I think now i have other problem ..
My server doesn't appear in server list too .
I looked in my settings , sv_lan is 0 , but i cant see server on Internet - my mates neither - .
I read a mesage posted by Eagle...he said to play 2-3 minutes a Public Server in normal game ... i played 20 minutes ... i was waiting for someone to join in my server , but nothing . After that i opened again a server with NAT . I launched game and i 'went' to server list ... again i saw my server on LAN and not on Internet ...
This is pretty weird because Monday all was ok ....
What can I do ??

[[OO9]]

This does same thing that eagle says but you can actually see it and change it if needed.

Checking in the config.cfg file to see if sv_lan is set to "0".

In NAT go to advanced options - screenshots folder - and open up the config.cfg file, sv_lan should be near the bottom.

I looked in server.cfg and confing.cfg too ... sv_lan was 0 but the server wasn;t on Internet ...
nvm i think now is ok
