That is very strange, I have heard of a problem like this before. The solution is just on the tip of my tongue, I can't quite get it though.

can they see the zone in the list or does it turn red? What does the server window say when they try to enter... we need as much info as we can get in order to help you.

everyone said that it appears red and says that its not offline, but i know for a fact that it IS online for I myself is on it. The thing that gets me is that it worked before, i did edit somethings but nothing that had anything to do with this problem...

Check your Biller IP in the server.ini file to make sure it is set to Localhost
Check to make sure you IP had not changed. If you have a router make sure that it didnt change the resident IP. If none of the helps attach your server.ini and billing.ini files to a reply in here without the passwords of course so we can look for errors.

Sounds like the old "checking if the fridge light goes off when you close the door" problem.

I'd recommend a free service such as DynDNS, which I use. Run a little client, and you can have an address always forward toy our correct IP.

For your problem, make a copy of your server.ini, remove the passwords (from [Billing] and [Password] sections), and upload here.

also if your running XP make sure the built in firewall is off or open the ports for the server in it becuase that will make it go red. i'll check the ini's later.

Code: Show/Hide

[Misc]
Port=24.131.115.238

You don't put your IP there, you are to place a number, such as 5000, there.

Same as for these:

Code: Show/Hide

[Billing]
ServerId=24.131.115.238
ScoreId=24.131.115.238

Replace all those IPs of yours by 5000.
