I don't have the full version of Quake 4 yet, but I tried setting up a small 6-player tourney server with the demo and I can't seem to get past my router. If I launch the server out-right it wants to use my local IP (192.168.15.100) dispite me choosing an internet server instead of LAN. If I use the net_ip and net_port cvars, and open up that port on my router, the game acts like it's not even connected to the internet... I can't even browse other games with the in-game browser if my net_ip is set to my internet IP. I tried looking for server docs but the one place I seem to find all the answers (the UC guides) just says that the game is still pretty new and nobody seems to have good server documentation yet. Any clues?

You need to forward the ports used for the Q3 server to the internal IP of the machine that is serving. I forget what the Q4 default ports are. If your router lets you specify udp or tcp select udp.

If your router lets you specify udp or tcp select udp. yeah I already did that, here's the way it's set: http://lotekguru.sytes.net/images/qroute.jpg the port shown is what I used for my net_port, which I think is the default Q4 server port. net_ip is set to my internet IP

Your server can't use that ip addy, your router is already using it. Just let NAT pass the traffic thru the port you have forwarded to the internal ip address of the server. This is an issue with a similar cvar in Source games like HL2. That cvar would work if you had a "real" external ip address for your server, but you only have one ip address and it's being used by the router........

Anyone with the demo, could you see if you can connect to 12.210.138.104:28004 and see if/how it's running? It's a 6 player tourney server running off 256k upstream out of Lexington, KY
