Hiya People!
Sorry if this has been posted here before, but I have looked around the forums and couldn’t find an answer.
I have been having troubles hosting lately. I have opened ports 10052 and 10054 on my router. The problem is my server will magically disappear off of the list servers. It will disappear like about 10 minutes after I hosted it. But when it disappears, people already in the game still can play, but when they leave, they can’t join the server again. It is odd because it has happened ever since I switched the IP for the ports (my router only allows one IP to host) to my brothers IP address because he wanted to host that day. But when I switched it back to my IP address, my server does that strange disappear thing. (hope this is making scene. O.o) But when my brother hosts, his doesn’t do the disappear thing. Is it the router that is causing it? Or is something else causing it? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks! :p

You also have to open port 10053. And make sure that you've opened both TCP and UDP for those ports.

Thanks Sonyk for the reply.:) I realized I didn't open the ports properly on my router. So now I fixed that, but my server still disappears :(. Now it will disappears after 30 minutes I have hosted it. Any other suggestions?

Thanks :p

Maybe that was because the listserver went down? Or your conenciton temporarily went down? You could try listing manually...there's an article about it on j2o

Actually, I played in your server today. It was really nice, it dind't lag, but I left it once, to rejoin, and when I tried to do so, it was .. um .. delisted? I dind't see it in the list anymore. :X
