so I have some questions:
Q1) can i run server and client on same machine?
you can, but you have to have a pretty beefey computer to do so, both the client and server are resource hogs.
Q2) can anyone tell me why I cant see it or connect to it
does the computer have a firewall blocking port 27015?
Q3) some people have said you can connect manually? how do I do this when the game cant start because there is no server. which main menu option gets me to the point where I can tell my dod client the servers ip addres???? I just cant figure it out.
you do this by opening the game, pressing ~ for console, and you type "connect <servers ip>" you should be able to connect to the lan ip.
Q4) some people have mentioned a gui to set this server up? where the hell is that? I can t see anything that looks remotely like a gui
good.. gui sux... you should run the server in console mode.
what do you have as your start line?
