Post subject: Routers, Ports, And Firewalls. Oh my!

I'm pretty sure i've got everything done to setup my server but here is my problem.
My two windows open fine, and billing gets connected. I go to the server list and my server is there. I add it to my list and it's green. But when I try to enter it just does nothing and eventually says it can't connect. That's when my server in the list turns red. I do have a builtin firewall on my router, and i opened up the one port that's in the settings, do i have to open more or are my server settings out of whack?

Server port +1 too.
If you have a router, you will have to manually change the zone.dat to your local IP, to connect locally.
Also, if you want to connect locally, make sure that in server.ini under [Billing] IP=localhost

Now the zone says there is a player in it when there isn't, i get as far as it asking if i want to let this zone view my pw, and then I still can't get in. :/
Any more ideas?

Server port and billing port may not be the same. Change them.

Each firewall is different, I had to type in the IP of my router to access my IP forwarding to open ports.

Hey hey - long time MGB

I'm having this same problem at work. I don't want to make any changes here at work that might have some effect on somebody else due to the fact that our servers and routers support 500+ users. I'm just going to wait till I'm magically contacted by PriitK so I can get access to the ssc billing for the revival of ZERO Annihilation. GG

Bah, sucks to be laxodazical...I'll get to work and see what I need to do to get on SSC billing. Much has changed over my (so called) 2 year vacation from subspace.

So MGB - Who should I talk to?

*fixes settings, map, and arranges zero in old SS practice mode*
