Last chance before I give up on the idea completely.

I ran a server for just short of 2 years and took that server down for financial & personal reasons.

Over the past few weeks I have been looking at getting it back online so here goes with some information.

127.0.0.1 does not work on PC, I had running before (for the time I mentioned above as 192.168.1.100 in place of 127.0.0.1 so please don't say 192.168.1.100 is wrong :)

All IP's are correct, though I am unsure of TBL_GMIP and if should be set to local or net IP, whichever I use the server runs.

The server is running on pc with no errors whatsoever.

The router is a linksys x2000 which says in its instructions it gets around loopback with assigning the local IP to DMZ, which I have done.

The router and server PC are connected by ethernet cable.

This is btw the exact same PC that the server ran on before.

With game not running portcheck shows all the ports open to the server pc.

My problem is, why when I use listmake to set up the launcher then activate the launcher, it shows server offline?

I have tried both No-ip and putting in the NETIP.

I was hoping not to wipe the DB's and start afresh but it's the only thing I can think of now. I have restored DB's back to when server was working before.

I don't suppose it could be a server date/ DB date conflict of some kind? Do I need to set serverPC date back to when the last backup was?

Ideas/solutions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

can u login to the server via a launcher from your server pc setting it local in listmake when this works can u login via lan from another pc with lan ip adress ?

also try to host a fresh server and look if u got the same problems so we can figure out if this problem comes with your files

Never been able to run locally because 127.0.1 doesn't work, I have tried replacing with 192.168.0.1 with no joy..... files not moved off server since was last live. As for starting a new fresh server, ack, do I have to go that far? :(

I can only assume it's what someone else posted which is a database is corrupt, game3g was the one named in the post.

Can I rule out ODBC error?

The fundamental problem is that the launcher isn't connecting to the files so maybe it's the launcher at fault.

I will go to my backup and reinstall everything sql side if that's what it's going to take but I feel it's going to be something silly and small that I am missing and if I try something major I will likely muck it up.....o.o:eek:

well its courios that u cant run it on local xD

fresh server is a way to go if all other stuff fails -.-

cant be a odbc error when server runs without an error i think( when i remeber right also server fail to start when tables a missing in the data bases)

also did u check if maybe firewall blocks something server side /client side and router firewall ?

Try using Sting files mate, if that works and yours doesn't, should be able to track it down. With Sting's, just need to change the IP addresses.

I can't see it be a database error if everything else works fine and the server comes online without any faults.

Other than that, I have you tried to open it up to outside and ask someone else to see if they can connect? I can help if you want.. pm me.

Ok so I gave up for 24 hrs ;) The below gets me online from any computer linked to my home network.

192.168.1.51 is set up as the loopback address (same as 127.0.0.1 on other peoples systems).

To log into server I use 192.168.1.50 in the HL file to connect through the launcher.

Now the question is, given below, what do I change to get online through the internet?

NETIP

TBL_SelectgateIPs NETIP


Changed the above to NET IP to make live online, server runs but shown offline on launcher.

What am I missing????

Surely this is now something up with the launcher?
