Problem with creating a server while I'm offline

[Guest]

I have read all, that I managed to find on this forum, but I didn't find the solution to my problem, that is described above.

Problem:> An error message appears, when I try to run a simple server that is intagrated in MTA client (with the help of button "Create server") port 2003, announce to ASE is not ticked.

I tried to start server while I'm connected to the internet via dial up. It's OK. But when I tried to do the same without internet connection an error message appeared. (It appeared after I push the buttom "Start server").

But I need an opportunity to run server without internet connection, because I want to play with a friend via modem.

I tried to start server when I was online, then I shut down my connection to the internet and I saw that my own server go on working. Than my friend connects with me via modem by phone line, and connects to my server by entering my IP adress. So we managed to play succesfully. But it is impossible to connect to the internet every time I want to create a server just to play with my friend via analog modem without ane connection to the internet or via high speed LAN connection.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

The problem is most likely that you have got the "Announce to ASE" box checked. Announcing to ASE requires internet access, and if you are not connected the client seems to crashed.

Good luck, post if there are problems

I know about this. (By the way I wrote in my topic "announce to ASE is not ticked" )

It doesn't help.
