No, I've been running subgame2 off my computer for about a month now. What's your zone's name? Does the subgame2 window show any type of error? If not, please post the [misc] section of your server.ini here.

You don't NEED one, most people probably wouldn't even want one, because you get in trouble if you cheat.

Try setting ServerIP to the correct IP address. I haven't verified that "localhost" works, but from what I've seen here on this board it seems to...

Try changing your port number, you may have conflicts. Do you use dial-up?

so wat should the correct server ip address b?

no i use cable or somthin...

wat would b the best port number b then?

Smong - Fri Aug 22, 2003 3:07 pm
Post subject:

You can try and get your IP address by running "winipcfg".

Right click on zones in the client and see what other people are using as their port number. Something over 1000 and ending with 000 is probably ok.

Are you running billing server on your own computer?

About the router thing:
If you use Win9x/ME: run 'winipcfg'
If you use NT/2000/XP: run 'ipconfig'
These should tell you your ip address. If it is 192.168.1.something, you're behind a router.

Cyan~Fire - Sat Aug 23, 2003 9:50 am
Post subject:

OK with ipconfig, first you need to get to a command prompt (run 'cmd).

Billing server: I think you must have changed the wrong port.
Subbill.ini:Misc:Port=
should be the same as:
Server.ini:Billing:Port=
and DIFFERENT from:
Server.ini:Misc:Port=

If I were you, I would copy your server.cfg (if you've changed anything). And re-extract server.zip over your current folder. Then everything should work, and then you can re-customize.

the ip address

the subnet mask or

the defualt gateway

Cyan~Fire - Sat Aug 23, 2003 5:46 pm
Post subject:

If your ip address is 192.168.1.something, then you're behind a router. Is it?

Numbers slow down probably because your CPU now has to deal with subbill AND subgame2, nothing to worry about.

AlphaBoB - Sat Aug 23, 2003 5:52 pm
Post subject:

Not nessecarily, Cyan~Fire. It can either mean that you are behind a router or that you are on a network. In my case it's both.

We had 192.168.1.(blah) waaay before we got cable and a router, because we had a local area network (LAN)

Well, IP usually means IP address, and so you'd use "the ip address" as your "IP"... see the similarities?

that means i am behind a router........lol.....i'm soo stupid

so i use the 192.168.1.something for the [misc]server ip or [billing] ip

No. Use Mine's favorite, www.whatismyip.com, or my way (if you use a Linksys router) of just going to the status page. But my way requires a bit more geekiness.

AlphaBob: Since he said he used cable, not dial-up, then if he's on a network, he uses a router. Just trying to put 2-and-2 together, but maybe I came up with 3...

so i shoud use the ip address from www.whatismyip.com and put the ip address on the [misc]server ip or [billing] ip

my router is not the Linksys router, i think

mine is a old one, i think

its silver like, i think

Post subject: subbill.exe and subgame2.exe

my subgame2.exe keeps saying:

Thu Aug 28 00:17:25: Attempting to establish link to billing server...
Thu Aug 28 00:17:45: Attempting to establish link to billing server...
Thu Aug 28 00:18:05: Attempting to establish link to billing server...
Thu Aug 28 00:18:25: Attempting to establish link to billing server...
Thu Aug 28 00:18:29: ERROR: Could not connect to billing server.
Thu Aug 28 00:18:29: Starting server in stand-alone mode.

then my subbill say this and doesnt list any errors:

Thu Aug 28 00:17:14 2003
: SubSpace Billing Server v0.23

and the subbill.exe numbers now go like 1...............................2..............................3...............................4
instead of 12345678910

but then when i close the subgame2.exe, my subbill.exe's numbers go bak to the normal fast speed...

Subbill.ini:Port
and
Billing:Port need to be the same.

If nothing works, delete your directory and re-extract server.zip.
If you've made any changes to your cfg, then back it up.

Your cfg shouldn't make any difference with your server connecting to biller.
Then it's probably a problem with Windows.
Try Linux with ASSS
