And Windows Vista is probably more paranoid about that type of stuff than Windows XP, which could complicate things even more.

3 years and ~2 months actually

Someone made me one for MTA 0.5 a while ago, let me see if I can dig it up and adapt it for MTA:SA.

Tried everything? You obviously haven't tried connecting to remote admin with localhost, have you?

If you were willing to use the search button then you would have found this topic and would have not had to post.

After you removed VC-MP, did you reinstall VC?

Have you set your VC version to 1.1 in the MTAClient options?

You have VC-MP installed too?

Enable anti-cheat in the server config.

We can't support users who have an illegal version of the game.

You HAVE to reinstall.

Are you connecting to the correct IP and Port?

You've done nothing wrong, it's just that you've bought v2.00 of GTA:SA (the only version which vendors stock now, since the whole "Hot Coffee" scandal). Since v2.00 can't be modded at all, MTA will not work with it. Therefore only v1.00 is supported and that is the version you need to play. There is a patch for the v2.00 game which will allow MTA to be played with it in a topic at the top of the 'Help' forum but since you posted in the wrong place, I expect you didn't see it. Anyway you can get it here: http://mtavc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15151

Maybe he wants it on another IP for a reason?

Lol, is that you Gary?

http://www.mtasa.com/downloads.php Have you not ever used the Internet before?

Out of those 200 innocents, how many will be MTA players, and out of that extremely small percentage, how many of them will want to play on your server?

First of all, IP range banning IS effective against the majority of cheaters since normally only the last or the last two octets of the IP will change, the downside is that innocent players may be affected. As for proxying MTA over SOCKS proxy, I don't think that's possible. The only way I can think of is tunnelling it over SSH, which would be quite hard too.

Any hardware address can be spoofed. If a person is really adamant about getting around a ban like that, they will. The only 'effective' ban is an account ban, which requires an authentication system. The downside to the mod being free is that people will just register multiple accounts. Therefore the most effective way of banning is to do it by multiple addresses: IP (subnet if needed), network card mac, cpu mac, HD mac etc.

This has been addressed already, there is no current way to bind the server to a specific IP. I believe it was going to be included in the next version.

1) Put GTA:SA DVD in your DVD-ROM drive. 2) When prompted, click Install. 3) Once installation has finished, play the game to test that it works. 4) Download MTA:SA 1.1.1 from the Downloads page on http://www.multitheftauto.com 5) Install MTA:SA 1.1.1 - if this is successfull skip to step 7. 6) If you receive an error "MTA is only compatible with GTA:SA 1.00", download and run the downgrader patch (found in the HELP forum). 7) Run MTA:SA. Play.
