Hello, just a few quick questions.
I'm know these are fairly simple, I just wanted to be sure if they were correct or not.
----
1. I'm on a DSL connection (2200kbps) with a dynamic IP, does that mean I'll have to give out a new IP address every time I restart the computer/modem? Pretty sure I do, but I just want to be sure.
2. When I first start the server, I get:
Adding master server 68.XXX.XX.XXX:27011
Adding master server 207.XXX.XXX.XX:27011
Do those have any relevance? Are the ports supposed to be 27011? Neither of them are my internal or external IP.
3. Is there any place I can go to verify my server succesfully got online? Obviously when I check on Xfire or Steams server list I won't see it since I'm playing from the same connection I'm hosting from. I've tried http://www.game-monitor.com/ but had no luck.
4. When setting up the ports on my router, would it make any difference if I went 27000-27015 UDP/TCP, instead of just 27015-27015 UPD/TCP?
----
Here's a few specs if you can provide any further information:
Intel Pentium 4 HT Dual Core 3.20GHz
1024MB RAM
2200kbps DSL Connection/Router
Windows XP Media Center/Pro - Runs very fast
Clean, defragged often, no virii or spyware
Thanks alot, I wanted to get some of those out of the way.
