I think this thread is similar to the one i have been getting advise on.

I have tried nearly everything including;
- trying two different routers, and no router
-reformatting c: and reinstalling win2k
-trying about every setting and variation I can think of
-living on the IRC channel trying to fiquer it out
-reading/following nearly every post on the forums.

and soon:
now soon changing internet providers - to cable instead of DSL - my final and last hope/attempt at hosting 4.1

Result - still cant host a server, despite that I had a really nice server last summer : , with custom spawns and quests. It was really fun to host hoping that those days may return. It would be really fun to be able to play with the code but its over my head.
