Well I went there and updated everything I could find (except that one with the .dle extension since I couldn't open that). I also fished around the Support site on Microsoft.com, and it also listed opening port 80 (TCP but I opened UDP as well) along with 3074, so I opened that too. NOW MY SERVER IS RUNNING ZOMG!!! I have no idea if if was the update or the port but who cares.

Thanks JustBringIt69 for all your help, I'm indebted to you.

Now I just hope I can join my own server... otherwise this was a complete waste of time....

Ah yes, i completely forgot about 80, lol. You shouldn't have any problems joining your own server as long as its not on the same computer as the server. You are quite welcome Relgera :)

Fast reply... anyways it's not on the same computer, but I keep getting disconnected from LIVE when my server is running. After I stopped my server service, I stayed connected like normal.

Is it maybe because the server uses the same Gamertag as the one I play with?

I'll try a reboot and report back on the results.

EDIT: Nope reboot didn't work. However, for a short while, I could stay connected in LIVE and have my server running at the same time. I don't know why, but after a minute or so I got disconnected.

If I stop my service and log into LIVE, I stay connected. But when I start my service, after about 10 secs it disconnects me (about the same amount of time it takes for my server to start a game).

EDIT: I created a new Gamertag and logged into my server using that, now I can play without getting disconnected. And I can join my server too (yay).

Just wondering if you know how to get rid of the countdown (like in the XF Clan servers)?
