Hey all,
I'm running 2 XP machines. I play the actual game on the PC that connects directly to the internet. My second PC is connected via ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) and is running the dedicated server.
I can connect and play via the LAN fine. I can also see the server via my LFS desktop @ lsfworld.net. However, all attempts to connect to the game via the internet are failing.
I'm using Norton Internet Security on my main PC and have opened the required ports as outlined in your sticky.

UDP PORT SETTINGS

So, any ideas on this at all? I remember with one game (Unreal maybe), I could never view my server if I was behind the same physical IP, although I could still play.
Also, is there a designated place on the forum where people can post their servers for other people to try and connect to - a kind of server diagnosis and test forum? This would be most helpful and I didn't really want to crowd this resource thread; feel free to move this post to a more suitable forum.
Many thanks.
