First you need to do a port fowarding go to cmd type in ipconfig then where it says default getaway

get that ip and type it on the url bar . Then you need to look for ur account on the wirless modem or internet modem

type in the pass and name then go to Advence then to Port Forwarding type in the name ip addreas public port then if you want to check that u dont the Port Forwarding download the program called PFPortChecker then check and if its done then go back to Advence and this time go to Firewall & DMZ DMZ means "Demilitarized Zone". DMZ allows computers behind the router firewall to be accessible to Internet traffic. Typically, your DMZ would contain Web servers, FTP servers and others.

Enable the dmz time the ip addreas in . Then selecte you're computer name save it and it should be working .

Hope it will work .

Thnx for reply.

My english is very good but i really had hard time trying to understand this one..

where can i find my modem???

I have no dial up so why do i have to type in my id and pw??

When i type my default getaway in my internet url bar nothing happens. (i t says page cannot be displayed)

I have downloaded the portchecker already and it says it is open.

And i do not own a router and my firewalls are disabled..

my windows is in dutch btw so i dont no if dmz is the same at my pc..

hope to hear from you.

You need to confirm that 22003 is actually the port your listen server uses.

When you have opened it up, press F8 and browse to the top.

Will look like this:

===========================================================

= Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas v1.0.4

===========================================================

= Server name : Your server name

= Server IP address:

= Server port : Port

=

= Log file : ..erver/mods/deathmatch/logs/local_server.log

= Maximum players : 32

= MTU packet size : 1264

= HTTP port : Port

===========================================================

If "= Server Port" is anything else than 22003, that's your actual server port that your players should connect to.

[nick4ever]

We've already tried that..

But it doesn't show an IP.

Only server name and (nemexisNL) and port number.

I've checked it and it is open.

yours greatfully. nick

EDIT: now i get connection times out while it worked yesterday..

EDIT2: i've checked port 22003 AND 22126 on tcp and udp all four open

EDIT3: made screen of server
