Post subject: Others can't connect to my zone

I've made my zone, my subbilll and subgame2 can connect fine. However, I have to add custom to find my zone and others cannot connect to it.
I have cable, and a wireless router. Any ideas?

-subbill.ini-

I tried using different ports for subbill and server but even if they are open ports they don't seem to work...unless i put identical ports in each server and subbill. Also, is there any way I can put something other than localhost for my IP?

Also try using a rounder port number like 1000 or 2000

Also if you have not already done so you need to unblock the ports and + one on your router and firewall. Check here to get a relative idea of how to do so. http://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?t=2443

Not so much a "rounder number" as a higher one. The lower it is, the more chance there is some other program will be using it.

I'd at least keep it higher as 1023 to not mix it up with the "service ports".
