Title: Running a LAN server
Post by: sparkybean on December 07, 2007, 12:45:12 PM
I was hoping to start running a LAN server for open arena. No problem, except that i cant seem to get the configuration just right. I was hoping that someone would be able to post a simple config file that i could use. Ive had a good look through google, but no success. (the one here (http://gameadmins.com/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=3) didnt work :()

Thanks in advance

I solved it by myself, had the server.cfg in ther wrong place :). Thing is, my friends can connect by typing in my ip address under specify, but i was wondering how you can get the game to appear under the list of servers.

I think it should appear by itself, with no modification. Just refresh the servers list.
Use standard ports (27960), and ensure both computers are on the same network segment (192.168.0.x, for expl)
