Hey Rab,
Luck must be on my side a bit now because I think I finally got it to work. I sent you an email with some questions, hopefully you don't mind..Not sure if you got it yet or not though.

Don't mind at all. Although I have'nt seen the e mail yet. Hmmm You sure you have the right address.
Ya, I got the email addy from your NightCrew site. nworbrab right? I'll resend it and see if you get it this time
hey MagicMan!
in case you still need help then get back to me.
Hey Magic. Did you get my reply. Haven't heard back from ya or seen a server with your name on it in the server list. If ya didn't get it let me know, I'll resend it. If you did get it I hope it helps ya out. Any other questions you might have let me know. I'm always around and don't mind helpin ya out at all. My yahoo IM is always running. IM me and it might be a little easier with answering any questions that way.
Actually Kill_me, Rab and I were on YIM for about 2 hours workin on this. What a pain that was. Here's where it sits so far. If I reboot my router, people can connect to my C4 server within about 1 or 2 minutes. After that, no one can connect. The only way it will accept connections again, is to reboot the router all over again. I've emailed SMC to find out what they have to say about this,,,,,
Okay, I'm posting this in hopes that someone may have a similar setup and be able to help me figure this out.
My Router settings has two tabs. One is Virtual Server and the other is Special Applications. Now, I'm trying to figure out what I have to enter where in order to HOST on C4. In the Virtual Server Tab, it asks for Mapping Ports (which I assume would be 17200-17500) and Server IP which would be the IP of the PC Hosting. Now, Rab helped me set up my 3 pc's with an internal Static IP (think thats right) because apparrently that is needed in order to host.
In the Special Applications Tab, it asks for Trigger Port, Trigger Type, Public Port, and Public Type. I know that both Trigger Type AND Public Type would be UDP but what should get entered into Trigger Port and Public Port?? I thought 17200 would go into the Trigger Port box and 17200-17500 would go into the Public Port box but when we do it that way, no connections can be made to my server. Also with it set up this way, I went and tested it on Shields Up and it came back as Port 17200 CLOSED.
So, maybe if someone has a similar setup, they could tell me what numbers they put where and I could see if they work for me.....
Okay, finally got the router settings right and am able to host. Now, have another problem. When hosting with one pc, I try to connect to the server using my 2nd pc and connecting through LAN. When I click to join game I get "Bad Key Received From Server" and on the pc hosting I get "was denied entry because client provided incorrect key (0)"... Does anyone know what would cause this and maybe how it could be fixed?? Thanks!
MagicMan that is because you are using the same CD Key on both computers. Avoiding this by either joining the server through the internet or by using an other CD Key (buying a second copy of C4).
I'm checking ICQ only weekends as i'm only weekends able to get on my Game PC.
Hey Kill_Me, good to cya again. Ya, Novalogic just nicely informed me that I would have to purchase a second copy of the game, just because I need that second CD Key. I kindly told them what they could do with that second copy
Thanks for the help!!
Hello Kill Me, you have a Problem with the Join on you Server? you 2 PC have Conect on a DSL Router, you PC Nr. 2ist the Host, and you PC Nr.1 ist the Client, and you can not Joint, you become the Message UNABLE TO CONECT TO NOVAWORLD? here is the Problem solution http://www.checkpointdelta.net/showt...8880#post18880
See the last Picture.

Ya but they probably just felt sorry for you since you're so poor and lazy.......lmao. I'm able to connect through LANIP now so that will work just fine. I'll try a fresh install of C4 soon just to see if the 2nd cd key theory ends up working for me.....
