hosting CoD4 server

[ex_marine]

Hi, I have a new server now for call of duty 4 on line. The server IP:192.168.24.64:28960 “server name is” US_Marine's “ my name is "ex_marine” “ tell you friends” the game is: "team death match"

it has been up and running for a few days. i can join my server, i can play
on my dedicated server. but no one has joined my server. is some thing
wrong. do i have to type some thing into the consol, or what.
if you have some time, could you tell me things about hosting cod4. i have been hosting hl2dm for over 2 years, so i do know some things. but this is a
new game for me.:shakehead:shakehead

thank you

Did you start the server? Like from your PC? Or did you buy it from a company? If you started your own from your PC, could be that you don't have ports open in your router to allow incoming connections.

That's not your IP. That's the IP for your router, which is your local IP. Go to http://whatismyip.com to get your REAL IP. Also, most home internet providers change your IP on a regular basis, so that may change from time to time.

hi
i uninstalled call of duty and reinstalled, open all the ports in the fire wall
and the router, ran punkbuster. then ran the dedicated server from inside
the game. i joined the server and about 10min later, two people were on
my server and kicking my ***. hehehheheh. they had high rank.here is the
name of my server and IP address. check it out some time.

That's not your IP. That's the IP for your router, which is your local IP. Go to http://whatismyip.com to get your REAL IP. Also, most home internet providers change your IP on a regular basis, so that may change from time to time.

IP-addresses beginning with 192.168 does not exist outside your local network. Go to http://whatismyip.com/ to see what your internet address is.

• That is not your IP-address
• Nobody will be able to connect to that address ever.
• It is not a valid IP-address
• That IP-address does not work
• Thats a LAN address, not an internet address

The only reason people have been able to connect is because they see you in the server browser, but that address does not work.

Go to http://whatismyip.com to find out your REAL IP. Also, that IP will likely change, as most home internet providers change your IP periodically to stop you from doing things like run game servers....

hi
i talk to the router provider, and bcause i host dedicated servers, that they
leave my ip addess the same every month.

You are a bit fact-resistant, have you even tried going to http://whatismyip.com like we told you 117 gazillion times?

Then that is the correct address of your server!

You might as well use 127.0.0.1 instead then. Easier to remember and works just as well.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1.

[GrossKopf]

Wow, this guy is THICK!

That Ip address displayed on http://whatismyip.com IS YOUR IP ADDRESS!

That 192.whatever IS NOT YOUR IP ADDRESS!

You are a bit fact-resistant
