Invisible server.

[Belmont]

My server is invisible but I'm not using a router - tried with and without one, didn't fix it.

I opened ports in my firewall and didnt work either.

Any help would be great, and I rather don't want to use Hamachi, I never liked it.

I have the exact same problem. A tip for Belmont is a tip for me!

I've found that executing the heartbeat command helps with that problem. (Sometimes, that is.)

And how can we do this?

do you have a modem firewall and a PC firewall?

modem firewalls are easy either port forward or put your internal IP in a DMZ. However if you have a software firewall (I have one of these on my main comp) then you need to figure out how to port forward with that. In some cases like me my firewall doesn't seem to allow for any server activity unless I just flat out turn the firewall off. Only then does the master server actually see my main comp server.

Go to your console and type "heartbeat" without the quotes. I put it in my listenserver.cfg for convenience.

Mikkel saw the server, however I'm unable to see it myself (wich is not a problem, I can join easily) but I wonder if everone else can see it.

I had saw it while it was up.

Belmont #1 or something like that. Correct?

Yes, currently down and up again very soon, fixing something.
