well, if all you want to do is edit settings and play with friends at your house, follow my LAN server howto at the top of the forum.

If you want to have others play, edit your zone.dat as discribed in that howto, and also open 2 ports on your firewall. the 2 ports are the port in [misc] in server.ini and that port + 1.

Edit your zone.dat in your continuum folder to use your internal IP address. You can find it on 95/98/ME with Start->Run->winipcfg and selecting your network card from the dropdown list.

NOTE: Continuum must be off while you edit the file.

After you get into your zone, open the 2 ports as discribed in my above post.

Hey guys, i'am having a similar problem, hoping you can help me with it Dr Brain.

I downloaded that file sever.zip from http://www.shanky.com/server/download.html and did everything it told me to do, I see my zone in green and I can join it, but my friends can't (its in red for them).

I have a build in firewall, i'am thinking that may be the problem. Hopefully you can help me thanks.

It still doesnt work!!!!

should i just get hosted for now cause in the end i really want my own server. Does this have anything to do with "opening those ports" because i never did that i dont think.
~linkinpark110889~

Dr Brain · Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2003 10:21 am Post subject:

Nothing to do with the ports, that is for other people, we need to get you in first.

You need to replace the ~~~server port~~~ with the [misc] port= part in server.ini, and that should let you in.

linkinpark110889 · Guest Offline

ooohhh thank you very much!!!!

It works i can go in now!!!!

Now how do i open the ports to let other pll in!!thank u soooooo much
~linkinpark110889~

Dr Brain · Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2003 4:44 pm Post subject:

Read your router manual. The two ports to open are the server's port and the server's port + 1. So if your port is 1000, you open 1000 and 1001. If its 2541, you open 2541 and 2542...

ok now another problem i opened those ports but now other pll still cant get in!!!!!!my bots wont show up on the list either!!!Now wat should i do???
