Server Doesn't Work

[InuYasha]

When I host an SRB2 game and I tell my friend to join it, he says the server doesnt show up! When I make the server is says its been registered to the master server but it doesn't show up. I know my friend is telling the truth because I made a dedicated server and not even that showed up. What do I do?

Did you turn on internet server?

 

[InuYasha]

Yes.

Then you're behind a firewall or a router. If you're behind a firewall, just turn it off. If you're behind a router, http://portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/SRB2/SRB2index.htm

I tried already.

the same happens for me,it even shows on the master server webpage, and uses the correct port. maybe new bug?

Do you have port 5029 UDP open? You need to have that open in order to host SRB2 netgames.

5029 UD...
What FF said

Yes, that must be the problem; it's been the same one I've been having for a while. I'd fix it, but I need a password, and I don't know what it is....

But anyway, you should go here to learn how to open the port.

EDIT: And since we're on the topic of forwarding ports, does port 28900 have to be TCP or UDP?

Uh, what? 28900 has nothing to do with SRB2, unless you're hosting a Master Server.

Oh. <_< I thought that was needed for your server to show up on the master server. My bad. =P
