hey all,
im a rather experienced user in all of the following hardware\software\networking, but this time its just simple commands that i need (or so i think).
First off my plans:
-i want users to be able to find me through steam
-i want to be able to run the dedicated server on one machine (and sometimes join the same server from the same machine)
My specs:
2.6Ghz AMD Athlon XP (200x13) ~3500+
1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7
120 Gyg 7200RPM 8MB
9600xt 256mb (589/670)
1250kbps downlink & 320kbps uplink (ADSL)
Situation:
i can run the server and i can join the server though console "connect xx.xxx.xxx.xxx" command in "Find Servers" window. I get 10-16ms lag.
Problem:
I cannot see my own server on other machines and\or on the current machine under "Find Servers".
I am guessing i need a command that will force the server to start listening? I am not sure however that its the case..
Note: I am behind a router and port forwarding is set up correctly.
EDIT:
Are the specs enough for such a server? if they are then how many players can i expect with decent latencies on such a connection? Thank you in advance
