<div class="IPBDescription">Im noob is setting dedicated servers</div> This is my problem: i can normally start non-dedicated server, play there and people will come and play there too. But when i set up dedicated server no one is coming, on the non dedic it takes few minutes for someone to come, on the dedic i waited about hour and nothing (i also tried different mods). Can it be because i have 2 Ip adresses? I have a VPN IP adress and then *normal* IP adress and maybe the dedic server thingy cant handle this? But again, non dedic works ok. I tried to join my own dedic server (dont know if its possible, probably not) but when i entered my *real* IP adress to "add server" it appeared there (~the HL in game browser) without any description, and when i entered my *non real* VPN IP the server appeared with its name and i was able to get its info (like ping, players there etc.) but unable to join it (whats maybe impossible from the same comp).

    And i tried to disable the firewall with no effect. Also when i start the dedic, at the bottom it says "adding master server" and writes some Ip thats not mine, should it be mine or its some other IP that has nothing to do with me? And theres also one uber strange thing : the dedic runs at 64 fps, but when i have the natural-selection.org page in background it goes up to 85 fps, but when i enter the forums it goes down again. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    In setting up a dedicated server (assuming you have windows) install Win32_HLDS_4.1.1.0_full, then install ns_install_v1, upgrading to 1.04. Then you want to install ServerDoc to restart your server when it crashes. This server can NOT be played from! Make your target line similar to this <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->"C:\Program Files\ServerDoc\serverdoc.exe" C:\HLServer\hlds.exe -console -game ns +port 27017 +maxplayers 10 +noipx +map ns_eclipse<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->The "+port 27017 is VERY important .

    You will play NS from a seperate program (mine is C:\Sierra\Half-Life\ns) and your client should join on port 27016. Let us know how this works.
