nice threadjacking btw

If I changed the subject of the thread you could say that
If it's a WAN game he wants its not practicle to do with a dsl/cable connection.

Tried the IP and that worked. And yes, it is threadjacking, because you shifted the focus of the thread from his issues to yours.

The focus of the thread was to get a coop server up and connect to it.
The advise I gave works just fine
-even though I was wrong about it being 1 server and 1 client and not 2 servers on the same address as Efess has
explained-
.So my "issues" were not an issue it was splitting hairs.
Also Efess gave the order DO it
meaning show me...
Objective completed, my example server is up ,hows your proof of concept doing Foq "
Erase me from your contacts and friends list.

Unless you made another account under the name of Martens, I'm fairly certain you shifted the focus of the thread from him to you. That qualifies as a thread-jacking in my book.

i would call it more of "Post Resurrection" or "Question Asked + Answer Given, just not to original Asker"

Goodjob everyone! Even if the guy wanting the anwers hasn't been back to read any of this stuff. =0h=

Bugs encountered:
The Lan search works to find the server but would not connect to it.
The map was not found to start and defaulted to start.
Network routing seems to be a random assignment of ports.
Work arounds;
Lan connection works if the ip is typed in to connect.
Map loaded correctly by adding mapname to autoexec.cfg and placing map and cfg in the quake dir not id1.
As for a WAN connection, to keep the router out of DMZ and be sure it is not hacked in short order see this post for good advice.
