---------------The Original PTT2--------------

Need some info.. what kind of computer are you using and what operating system? What version of Think Tanks do you have? Shockwave, Garage Games? .ect.. where does Think Tanks install to? Mine is at C/program files/shockwave/thinktanks.

Also are you on a system that has a router?

ok ,, I have the same router. You may need to ask a parent to do this but to port forward that router you need to open a browser window, and in the address bar type, 192.168.2.1 and hit enter. A box will pop up and ask for a user name and password. In this box you use "admin" and "admin" and it will bring you to the router set up screen.

You need to be careful what you change in these settings.

The first thing you will want to do here is go to administration tab, and click on config management. Once in there click on the backup button and it will save a config file that can be restored to the router from the same config screen. Use this if you accidentally mess something up.

Next click on "Applications and Gaming" and the first tab there is port forwarding. He is a screenshot of mine.

You only need to do the top line and forward 28000 to 28010.

On the next tab "port triggering" do the same with only the top line.

Then at the bottom of each tab you must click "save changes"

Post when this has been done.

Did it work? Check the "Master Servers" list found on the bottom of the main page on these forums. How are you launching your server? via the "create" button or with a .bat file from the folder "dedicated" found inside your main TT folder?

Open your Think Tanks/game/server/pref.cs file. Scroll down to this line:

$Pref::Server::Port = 28000;

I start with 28000 and normally have to change through the progression 28001,,, 28002  28003 and so on  after ,restarting the dedicated server. 

After making the change to the pref.cs , make sure to delete the pref.cs.dso so the changes made are executed. It will regenerate a pref.cs.dso once the server is started.

HEY! I have an idea. Do you have TeamViewer? If you do, you can fix my server.
