Is there something special I have to do to host a netgame?

[Fawfulfan]

The reason I ask this question is that no matter how long I wait, no one ever seems to join my server. Do I have to register it or something?

Have you (if you are behind a router) forwarded the ports?

Which port it is escapes me, but it's something like 5028(?) UDP.

5029.

I forgot how you get to the ports :P

 

[Fawfulfan]

I checked that, and the port is open. Maybe it's just that no one wants to join, but I still want to make sure it's not a problem with my procedure.

Take a picture of the page that shows what ports you have forwarded, and maybe we can figure it out.

Actually, I know that it works, because I once minimized my SRB2 window during my own server, went to the Master Server website, and saw my server listed. It's just that my server never appears on the SRB2 MS Launcher.
