Subject: Halo PC Dedicated Server IP?...

Hey,

I’m trying to run a Halo PC dedicated server, and overall I am having good luck with it, the problem I have is that the computer being used for the server had to be restarted last nigh and now the IP address for the server has changed. I have researched it online and found the using the command line conflict -IP and -Port I can set a server specific IP and Port, but when I try and set the IP the console tells me that my network is not configured correctly and when I set the port, no matter what port I use, the console says the port is already in use. The server was being tracked using game tracker here: http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/24.18.102.91:55026/ but is now listed dead. If anyone can help me revive with this IP it would be greatly appreciated...

Your ISP is responsible for assigning your IP address to you. You don't have any say over what it is, and you won't be able to pick it by changing anything on your PC/modem.

If you don't want your IP to change when you reconnect to the net, you'd be best seeing if they offer a static IP service.

ok, thanks, but then what is the reason for having the -ip and - port command line conflicts?....

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Slip the -ip command and it may work.

A lot of proper servers will have a small block of IP addresses they can use, so you can use -IP to specify which address you want the server to listen to (in other words, what IP you want to be able to connect to).

You can also use it to specify which internal IP address you want it to use, depending on how your network works.
