I'm using Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster WRT54GS
Firmwire Version 1.50.6
I have 2 computers connecting to the main hub.

Well I created a zone but, hell it doesn't even show up in my list to
be downloaded & when it does it shoes up in red.

I've read everything posted on the forums and its just confusing as hell
can someone PLEASE help me.

Make sure you forwarded your zone port and your zone port + 1 (UDP).

So for zone port 300 forward 300 and 301. Make sure Windows Firewall is also forwarded if you have it.

Leave the last port (close to the description of the zone) at 4991. That HAS to be that port or it won't show up.

The reason for it being red is a port forward issue.

[Santino]

Well, I didnt change the directory port; it is still 4991
My port I used was 9200

So I forwarded it

Start - 9200 - End 9300 IP adress I put 100 then enabled it

then i went to windows firewall put both ports ( 9200 and 9300)
UDP for exceptions..

its just confusing as hell i dont know why it dont work

Well it used to show up in my list when I had a router, which then it would show up in RED. When I would enable the ports it still wouldnt let me connect.

Now I switched over to the Wireless modem.. It doesnt show up in my list

[BDwinsAlt]

Why did you forward 9200 and 9300? Only forward 9200 and 9201.
Unless you have more than one zone.

[Cyan~Fire]

Try adding a custom zone with same port, but IP 127.0.0.1. Tell us if you can connect with that.

[Santino]

Okay it shows up in green! W00T. But on the subgame2 it says Cilent request to connect to the billing server ignored.
Why is that?

[Smong]

The subgame2 console says 'Client connection request from billing server ignored'

[Santino]

Ok that makes sense now I can enter it, thanks alot guys

but see it doesnt show up on the zone list now? how do I make it so people can join it?

[BDwinsAlt]

Make sure the port around the description is 4991 (The default one that was there towards the end of the file.)

You could add this to the end of your lists of directories, sscentral.sscuservers.net

On my ASSS zones if I change the name password it won't work. Make sure you are using the right password. Add/remove something from the name and try again and see if it comes up.

[Santino]

Gah this is confusing as shit now, ever since i added sscentral.sscuservers.net to the end of the directories.. it just shows up as red..

[BDwinsAlt]

Maybe you added it wrong? Maybe copy and paste that line from an old one?
It shouldn't be hard. Most of them appear online right when they click on subgame. You could technically just run it as it is by default and it would appear. I don't know what went on that screwed it up. You can see it without even port forwarding.

[Santino]

I just copied and pasted parts from the ini that I think would be the cause of the problems... now before I add
sscentral.sscuservers.net
at the end of my directory I am able to login from localhost 127.0.0.1.
but it doesnt show up on the list.. i have to customly add it. then i can login and do w/e but people cant see it on the list.. well when i do add
sscentral.sscuservers.net
to the end of the directory it shows up on the list; but then its in red and i cant log in.

I may be completely off but in your description it has some odd characters. Maybe it doesn't like them? Someone else should have a better response shortly.

[Solo Ace]

What the hell are you doing? Does everyone just throw crap into configuration files these days? The first time you configure something you should be careful when changing settings.

Don't change the section names, just don't.

First try to use these. Make sure to use your custom zone entry.

Only when this works, start tweaking other settings.

[BDwinsAlt]

ROFL I completely missed that. No wonder...

[Solo Ace]

Well who knows. When I see questions like these people usually have their ini's completely messed up. What's the point in debugging an ini file when you're better off starting from the beginning?

[Santino]

Ok but see I didn't edit my Server Ini, I copied and pasted parts from the original Server ini onto the forums, yes the zone is up and running but I'M the only one who can download it / get on it..

It doesnt show up in the list to be downloaded.. when I add those two directory servers that BDwinsAlt showed me.. it will show up on the list but it is red. and I cannot enter it.

[Smong]

[Santino]

Ok This is wierd now.. Im not trying to run it just locally.. i wanna let other ppl join it also.. It shows up on the list.. but it comes up red for other ppl i can enter it and everything... i dont get it

[BDwinsAlt]

Maybe you didn't port forward correctly? That is the most likely case.

[Santino]

I dont think its that..

[Solo Ace]

I think it is, actually.

[Santino]

No because I triple checked it.. I added the port to port forwarding it and its still shows up on the list but ppl cant join it
i have to customly add it with the IP 127.0.0.1. to join it.

the zone from the D/L list which ppl cant join uses my orig IP
