Server wont show in list, cant be connected to by ip

[tom43491]

I have been trying to figure this all out, to no avail, have been ALL OVER the forums EVERYWHERE...

I have a DSL modem/router, set to bridge mode, and a netgear 4 port router set to handle the DSL authentication and act as a DHCP server. The router is set to DMZ mode to my internal address on the hosting pc, as verified through the router's menu of attached devices (192.168.0.2. My external IP is 71.166.13.162.

When I host the server, it wont list in cod2's server list, nor will stats.callofduty.com list it. I have a config file which I will paste in here, and a shortcut command line also. I have tried EVERYTHING! Why isn't it visible to the net??

Server config:

Shortcut target line:

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\CoD2MP_s.exe" +set fs_game main +set dedicated 2 +exec my_dedicated.cfg +map_rotate





I have tried adding the lines +set net_ip (external ip), and tried the same line with my internal IP. I have no idea why it wont work. Sigh.... so many hours spent on this... :mad:

NVM... I left the dedi running for a few minutes (by accident) and it showed up at stats.callofduty.com using the external IP to search, so I am assuming it will show in the internet servers list in-game. I cant check that will someone tries to connect, as it wont show up in my in-game internet server list, I guess since the server and client are using the same external IP. I can only connect by joining the server through the local servers list in-game.

If someone could try to connect, that would be great. The IP is 71.166.13.162
I will be able to see if anyone gets in through the server's console log. Thanks!! The info on this site has been very helpful!

Remember the server browser is buggy.
The longer the server is up and running the sooner it will show on the in game browser.
