Any Idea :D :?:
Well, it should run without any problems .. :roll:
Is the Windows Firewall running in the background too? ..
No, only ZA!

I checked those green:

condor.exe
condordedicated.exe
condorserver.exe

curious :?

:lol: :wink: Well, portforwarding on Windows Firewall isn't hard to do, and if the port is on the list of secure applications, then the problem isn't with this firewall .. :wink: There is some other place it goes wrong, ie. other firewall, antivirus, DHCP, router and so on ..
If your really want to become a host and read a lot of things, check out this thread as I pointed to on the first page:
http://forum.condorsoaring.com/viewtopic.php?t=5024
thermal did a great job writing these things down in a understandable language.

How should I configure ZoneAlarm?

I added UDP port in my router port forwarding. I disabled firewall software and still can't host :/

I've managed to host a server. However, the problem is that people can join the server, but I can't. What might be the reason?

Assuming you've setup a dedicated server, the only way to join is to simply type in your LOCAL IP adress to the computer that is hosting... like 192.168.1.xxx

Certainly you click the browser site with the serverlist on your flight. That doesn't go.

When you made your own 'server-flight' with the dedicated you must open Condor. Click on Multipalyer-Session. Next box click on refresh. In the window LAN Serverlist now your host adress is coming up and the first adress is automaticaly booked. Now click 'join' and you r in your game ;)

Also if your connecting through a router make sure you have a static IP set for your PC, if not your router may well assign a different IP address to your PC next time you boot it so the router will forward ports to the wrong IP. Not sure about a single PC but it will definitely happen if 2 or more systems are using the router.

I have no problems hosting a server/task, but that link says "Host unreachable: Receive timed out" when I try it. It's therefore not such a good tool as it may cause people to search for hours for a problem that doesn't exist.

For info I use windows firewall only, and I've set my PC up as a DMZ through my router (no port forwarding or anything like that).

Which server? Which ip?

If the answer is "Receive timed out", it's because my server can't connect at all to your server. It can be temporary (internet congestion) or definitive (private ip, firewall, ...). But for sure, if you see this message, lot of users will see it too...

Which server? My dedicated condor server, running on this same PC that I am trying the server connection test from.
Which ip address? The one my router is assigned to by my ISP when it connects to the internet. This is correctly prefilled and unchangeable in the IP field on the test page. I don't have a static IP address with my ISP so it changes from day to day. (It's 91.125.161.131 today)

I have tried the test many times but it always returns the same "Host unreachable: Receive timed out" when I click Submit on the test page. However my dedicated server always displays on the Condor server list and no-one has any problems connecting, so my server is very reachable.

So as I said, this tool must be flawed.

What is the name of the server on Condor Serverlist?
Do you use default port 56278?

I've just started it up again - it's called:
"Test only No Race", and it's using the default port 56278.
