I tried that. it asks for the start and end range, i did 28000 to 28005. then it asks for protocol, and i set it on "both". for ip address, i put the LAN ip of the machine. then i enabled it, did a release/renew on the router, and then still nothing. ugh... why does this have to be so diff...

ok. i think my linksys router is messing things up. i tried to go in and forward the ports but i don't think i did it right. i specified the range for 1 to 28005. for the ip, i put the WAN IP of the machine. any thoughts? still won't go even after i did this.

still wont work

haha, now another problem. I found my WAN ip, but when i try to connect to it from my other machine, it won't go. any idea why? i used default port of 28005.

Hahaha. That was it. Thank you so much! I'm a moron :icon25:

Yeah, I even try typing in "exec server.cfg" in the console window and it still won't work, even though the server.cfg is right in q4base! Man, this sucks...

Funny thing, I'm doing this on my girlfriends machine. When I try the exact same steps on MY machine, it works fine! Hmmm...

Yup. I put it right in the q4base folder.

Hey all! I'm having some problems starting a dedicated q4 server. I used the sample cfg that is stickied in this forum, put it in my q4base folder, set up the command line properly, and i get this message in the console: ...initializing QAL ...calling LoadLibrary( 'OpenAL32.dll' ): failed couldn't e...

Thanks for the reply, guys. I guess I'll add this to my list of things Raven screwed up. Cmonnnnn SDK...

Hey all! Just trying to see if anyone else is experiencing this. When trying to join a server, my game will go to desktop, open up a window that looks like the dedicated server window (i can see it loading .pak files and other various things), then it will go back into the game (initializing menu/in...

It's absolutely horrible. The game plays SO well, and I wish I could just stop all of this tearing on the walls and stuff.

Wow! I really don't like that. =( Trying to do r_displayrefresh 120, and it says I cannot change it in multiplayer. Whenever I strafe, or look around real fast, I can actually see the glitching on the walls...it's almost like I can see it refreshing itself. Anyone know how to fix this? It's almost u...

Hey all! Just have a few questions... 1. When I strafe, the screen tilts a bit. Especially when I hit a jump pad. What's the command to stop the screen tilt? 2. Is there a command for simple objects? I hope so... 3. Can I change my refresh rate in game somehow? I appreciate any help you can give me....
