Random Server Visiblity (DZ Help)

[Doggie52]

I've got 24 mbit down and 0.7 mbit up .
Running a 14 man server, never full .
The bandwidth reason is not the only one why my server isn't up so often... I sometimes can't find any time to set the server up/manage it, so sometimes it's just offline for no reason (my server project isn't really fun to work with when it doesn't show in the master list (.

Post your server.cfg, maybe its something in there. Also the contents of your .bat file. Meanwhile feel free to have a plod on mine. Stays on dust_pcg customer map (althought built by the same guy who did dust and dust 2). If fazzferdenand is on, play T and give him a headshot from fullclip! Also what ports are you forwarding on your router and which protocols. What router are you using?

Hmmm... It's nothing about the server.cfg. It's my router. It's a ZyXeL Prestige 660-HW61 (modem and router in 1), and to make it work (to make the server to show in the master list) I got to put the modem in Bridge mode... And if I do that the only computer on my network that will have acces to the internet will be the server .
When I had my old Dlink and some other old modem and a 1.6 server it worked perfectly...
I'm forwarding the right ports and everything, my only problem is just that my ZyXeL is not in bridge mode.
The only sollution to only having one computer on the network on the internet, is to get 2 IPs for the ISP. I'm investigating if it's possible to do.

EDIT\ I'm sitting at school so I can't post the .bat file right now .

Follow the white rabbit.

Dont mention nothing about bridging!

Seriously, this is getting more confusing the more I look at it :S...

Now I really don't know if my server is showing or maybe people are not joining because they've some damn strange way filtered it out....

tell me what your server name is and i'll keep an eye out for it!. I'm UK though so dependant on where you are and time you run server will depend on result. Give me name and IP anyway!

Have you checked on http://www.game-monitor.com about 10 minutes after starting the server to see if it's there?
