I must say, this server is ROCK SOLID in terms of not crashing. I've had it online for days without problems (other than not showing up in ASE!!). And I really love the fact that I can join and quit so easily playing on the Host computer. One thing I HATED about Ghost Recoon was the fact that you couldn't play on the dedicated server (without a lot of headaches). How about my startup screen, does anything look odd about this? The only thing I wonder about is the Game Listening IP, should that be displaying my external IP address? MTA Server for MTA:VC 0.2 ServerName = '4:20 Public T1 MTA Dedicated Server' ServerPort = 2003 Game Listening IP: 192.168.1.50 Game = GTA:VC / MTA:VC (#2) MaxPlayers = 16 SERVER: successfully started the server (port 2003) SERVER: press 'q' or 'Q' to shutdown the server. SERVER: ASE registration is enabled ... will attempt to register (if possible).

amazing vid man!!! good stuff!!!!!

Well, still no luck... but here's some more info in case it helps.... I continually receive these messages on my server screen: LS: successfully registered with the listing server. LS: unregistered with the listing server due to timeout. LS: successfully unregistered with the listing server. LS: successfully registered with the listing server. LS: unregistered with the listing server due to timeout. LS: successfully unregistered with the listing server. I'm assuming this is my problem here... any idea why it would register, but then unregister because of timeouts?? My net connection is NOT timeing out; no sync loss, nothing. I have a very stable net connection.

Hi guys... Thanks for your replies, it's appreciated! Dgtadude: I don't have a firewall running, however my router acts as a firewall. What I'll do tonight is turn on DMZ mode to my static IP address, basically forwarding every single port to my game server. If it works, then there must be SOME other port needed to list my game on the ASE that I haven't forwarded. If it still doesn't work in DMZ mode, then my problem has nothing to do with firewall/port forwarding. But I hope it does, cause it would be a simple fix to just forward another port!! me: copy that; I'm running the newest server; 0.21. At least I downloaded the 0.21 build and am running it, but when I load the server it still just displays 0.2 ...is this normal?

Ok guys, I feel like a REAL newb here, cause I see all these servers listed on ASE but I can't for the life of me get mine on!!! I've NEVER had problems getting servers on ASE before until MultiTheft auto; and since this is the game of choice for me right now I REALLY want to get it listed. Here's my setup: linksys wireless broadband router game server with static ip address following ports forwarded to my game server: 123 27244 2003 2126 I can run the server, and people can connect NO PROBLEMS by manually entering my IP address into their client connect window, but for the life of me I can't get it to appear in the All Seeing Eye. I'm running the newest release of the server, and yes, i've modified the config file to enable the ASE part of it. I've heard people refer to a section where you can "mark server private" or something like that, but I haven't been able to find that anywhere. When I use the serverconfig.exe utility OR if I load the server manually, I get the same results. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated; I simply can't see what I'm doing wrong or forgetting.

oh wow, thanks for the advice! I'll give that a try, thanks again!

I'm also having a heck of a time getting Vice City to show up in the all seeing eye. I am behind a router, but have forwarded ports 2003 and 2126. If people try to connect directly to my IP address by typing it in manually, they can connect and play without problems. Just for some reason it's not showing up in the eye. When I click on HOST, I'm simply prompted with which game to host (ghost recon or mta; the only two games i'm running). As soon as I choose MTA, it immediately loads the MTA server, and doesn't give me any options such as "private server" like you mentioned above. Does this mean that my all seeing eye is misconfigured somehow? Any help would be greatly appreciated; i've never had problems hosting games before, but this is causing me grief
