Help with hosting a server please
Hello and thanks in advance,
Ive wanted to host my own server, for mainly me and my brother to mess around on, for a while now and I was wondering if I could get some help with my problems.
Every time I try to host a dedicated server I get this
and when I host an undedicated I get this
These are my specs
And yes I forwarded my ports to the best of my knowledge
I have Avast running but if im going to host a dedicated server I do not want to leave my computer unprotected so thats kinda out of the question unless you have another solution or a way to bypass it.
Either way thanks for your time and any information even if its directly related to my problem would be awesome!

btw thanks for the quick response
there IS one possible way of getting around the SI thing by using the provided shortcut, currently t2 is only patched for SI CLIENTS not servers (i think...) so you have to manually activate it with that shortcut, lemme know what happens next, screens if need be ^^
Could you tell me if you see something wrong with the screenshot?
It didn't help me with hosting of any sort, but maybe it'll work for you instead.
Unfortunately I don't know which ports Tribes 2 uses so that's up to you.
Make sure your LAN IP is fixed so these settings won't have to be changed in the future.
My firewall rule just forwards 28000, so one rule should be enough.
[super edit] did not work tried both udp and tcp
Forwarding TCP won't do anything. Forwarding ports that aren't used to host won't do anything.
The only time you will ever get that message from the master server is if the server fails to respond to an info request within the allotted time. Meaning you are either running software blocking the program from connecting, behind a router or hardware firewall without the ports mapped, or are attempting to host on a connection that could not support players from an outside network in the first place.
If you are quite certain that the ports are forwarded, you should make sure there is nothing else stopping the connection. Set an exception for the program in whatever firewall you are running.
If you are not certain, you could also try a UPnP mapping (see attachment) if your router model supports it and the option is enabled.
Typing "setNetPort($Host::Port);" in the server console (without quotes) will verify the port is able to bind on the Windows end.
startHeartbeat(); will send a new heartbeat.
