Simple of it is you cant host a server on MAC that allows punkbuster, can one of your clanmates host the server on windows or linux? considered renting a server?

Would it be any possible/practical to run the server on a virtual linux machine? Considering he's running on a Powerpc processor it also  may be the only other way for a homeserver. Still, i guess it's not easy to setup and on the other hand i wonder if the G4 is powerful enough to accomplish to that kind of duty on a virtual machine.

p.s. all of that was written thinking as of not installing a Linux distro on his hdd...otherwise i would just partition/repartition it and install a PowerPc linux distro.

Yeah I was thinking around avoiding him having to install a linux based on the fact that the discussion of ports threw him :/

You need to open an outgoing port if you have a firewall for outgoing connecions, Normally all outbound traffic is passed. Outbound ports should be 27900 20046 UDP
I once had a router that simply would not forward this packet, The only solution was to get a different router.

I just forwarded those as well. Server is restarted as it crashed overnight:

I have a good router running DD-WRT so I don't think it's the router. uTorrent's connections are open and Assist gives me the green on 1717 and 1716. I've allowed all 3 Assist .exe's for server running and I'm just using Windows Firewall. I recall it was this same problems the last time I tried running a server a while back. Is there any way to get UPNP negotiating the ports in Assist?

The PR in the corner of the port test screen says everything is working just fine, maybe your ip address range is banned or something with gamespy like that, Try running the beta version and see if you appear in my auth server list.

Don't see how you get nilobject exception running a server? Prehaps a auth map change could'nt find a file.

I though of 2 things that could have caused that crash and have added extra error handling, So how it goes with the next release.

Yes you show up in my master server list and i use exactly the same method as gamespy does to add servers to my list... GameSpy just hates you. I can't see anything wrong at all with your set-up,
You can see your ip address in the screenshot attached.

So... Why doesn't mine show up in the Assist list if it shows up in your master server list?

Assist pulls the list from gamespy, My master server is for auth data

:( I am disappoint. Oh well, my 8 slot couldn't have contributed much.
