I've been trying to get dedicated server to work for days now but nothing seems to work. I have the latest version of halo_ds.
Heres my setup:
Computer(this one is the dedicated server)---------------->|||||ROUTER ||||| INTERNET
Computer(not the dedicated server)--------------------------->||||(with firewall)|||||

How do I get the dedicated server to work with my setup and still keep the 2nd computer online.

Thanks,

Heyyo,

Open up ports 2302 and 2303 on any firewall and router between you and the internet. That's top priority. ALL routers and firewalls by default close all ports insept for some basic ones (like port 80).

After that? give it a shot again. If you don't know how, post on here what firewalls and router you're using and I can try n' figure it out for ya....

Heyyo,

Hmm, no online manuals... weak... guess you're on your own dude, look through any manual you have that came with it, and look for stuff like "opening ports".

The firewall keeps track on the questions it gets from other computers and send it to your specific computer inside the firewall. Standard.

The IP's would not last if that was not done.

Ciao
