I am really down at the moment, I have been trying to run a dedicated server from the command line in windows XP SP2, to no avail.
I cannot understand what could be wrong, this is what is happening:
I have a home LAN, LinSys router set to DHCP, 2 PCs with 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101.
If I launch Quake 3 and create a LAN server, dedicated set to 1, I can then with my other PC connect to the server and play against the bots.
If I try to run the server from the command line as such:
C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena>quake3 +set dedicated 1 +set net_ip 192.168.1.100 +set net_port 27960
The console appears, and it SEEMS that the server is running. I try then to connect to it with the other PC, to no avail, there are no servers showing.
If I type status in the console I get the following: Server is not running. This very strange because then I check all the progams running as servers on the host PC and I can see Quake3.exe is listening on port 27960 as usual. I have tried using +set sv_pure 0 OR 1, to no avail.
I am gettings this in the console when I start the server from command line:
