launching an internet server for friends connecting via internet, or a LAN server?

#2: Dunno about the failure...

I can explain the error - the master server is outside of the LAN and trying to add you to the masterserver list, and cannot because you don't have the masterserver and serving ports open. Additionally, when you register with the masterserver, you have to send it the right IP address, and I think sometimes the local server just sends the local (network) addy instead of the full internet address.

Heh. I did this yesterday. You're going to need to edit server.bat, change the option from -d (dedicated) to -l (listen server) (This is what is causing your primary problem). Then connect to 127.0.0.1 . Then, go to the second/third/fourth computer on your LAN and add the IP address of your server to servers.cfg. Now, to connect any of the client machines they only have to pop up the server browser- where your one, lonely server should be right there for the taking =D.

yeah so i get the same:

looking up wouter.fov120.com
sending request to wouter.fov120.com
masterserver replay:

Server not registered: You did not respond to ping.

message. This is not for LAN, just general mp, and what karakendsden said might work but i dont know how to change it, please help

Usually means you're sending a different address to the masterserver than the one you're actually located at, or you have some needed ports blocked.

need to make that error message more informative as to possible causes - this question keeps coming up over and over and over again.

I assumed its pretty obvious from the numbers you must be running an older version of the game if you get that...
