Allowing resources to be downloaded?

[Guest]

Hey, I'm running my MTASA DM server on a computer in the corner of my room [it's dedicated to running servers] which runs on WinXP.

I've installed San Andreas and the MTA server onto that PC.

When I run the server it starts up fine and I can load a gamemode, but when i use any of the other computers in my room to try and connect the resources will not download and it drops back to the menu with "Error downloading resources".

Do I need to make the folder with the resources on the server accessible to anyone from the internet? and if so does anyone know how to do this on Winxp?

Also, I have forwarded all the correct ports in my router

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Azz

i have same problem. tho im using vista

[allah-cool]

I have used the Search function to try and solve this problem and I have looked at the FAQ loads of times, so please no one link me to either the search thing or the wiki...

Some people have touched on a possible solution but I dont think there is a finite one. But I have tried this

1. Forwarding ports 22004, 22127, 22005 (The defaults in mtaserver.conf)

2. Setting httpdownload to 1 and 0 (both get the same problem)

3. Zipping all the files in resources (end up getting error "meta.xml could not be found for spawn_protection, additions etc. etc."

Please may someone post here A definite solution or either say "This will be fixed in dp3".

Information on my server etc...

Windows Vista....dunno what else to put actually tbh
